also not sure if its best to rent an auger, or buy a cheap one. it may depend on the soil type. I will know more in two weeks.
Previously we dug 35 holes for each of two different decks that we built. but 800' of fence will require approx 80 holes, although not as deep - apparently
Do yourself a favour and rent a big one, like you tow behind your vehicle, so much easier than the 2 man ice auger ones.
