I wouldnt fancy doing it full time, hand planted 40 heavy standard this time last year.

 

Digging the tree pits was a killer! Not my thing, dont knock it till you tried it though, you may enjoy it

 

All the best!

 

Oh and whos it with, if you dont mind me asing?

[Littletree]

It can be hard work, but then so is brash-dragging. Sure you will do well, and keeping my fingers crossed for you

Like so many things, it's better by hand

If its lots of different sites and bare root standard's, etc, it should not be to bad.

 

Sticking in 1000's of whips can get VERY tedious.
