A ground anchoring system has a tube anchor (10) with a plurality of ears (12). The ears are biased toward an open position. A lock ring (16) is used to restrain the ears (12) in a closed position while the anchor is being driven into the ground. A drive tool (20) has its driving point (24) placed through the tube anchor (10) such that the driving point (24) extends beyond the tube anchor (10). In this way, the driving point (24) enters the ground ahead of the tube anchor (10). The driving tool (20) pushes the lock ring (16) down off the ears (12). When the tube anchor (10) has been driven to an appropriate depth, the driving tool (20) is withdrawn, thereby allowing the ears (12) to splay open and engage the surrounding soil. A method of anchoring an object using such a system also is disclosed.
