Tree planting ??

[Littletree]

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

 

I agree after the motorway brash dragging for hours on end up and down the banks with the sweat running down your every part of your body I reckon this will be a treat .

and bit more money too each day so it cannot be bad so am keeping my fingers crossed :thumbup:

Good luck!

Very rewarding job, I find...beeing part of (hopefully) the beginning of a 400 year life span!

Done it a lot, various sizes and sites.

Will try to dig out some pics...are you using waterbags "treegator" watering equipment in the UK?

Hope you get good ground conditions and no spiral tree guards!

At this point not sure what they will be using as never done it before so its going to be all new top soil for me .

If it's on a building site, you will find a Diet Coke bottle in every hole you dig

If it's on day rate/hourly then it's not a bad job - piece rate can be ok if you get a reasonable rate (which working for someone else you won't!)

 

Get a decent MP3 player and you'll be sorted.

Planting big trees is fun, we do lots every year. It is satisfiying to see the results at the end of the day.

Transplants and cellgrown forestry planting is a different matter, quite tedious with lots of bending. Having said that, its all in the mindset. As metioned before music is a must.

Good luck witht the trial.

Me and another guy did 25000 whips once, that was 15 years ago, they're getting big now:001_smile:

 

Here's some of them now:

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard work, but any work this winter may be a good thing:001_smile:
