Week after next I will be doing some replanting on a site near Taunton. Depending on what the landowners go for, it'll be either 250 or 1000 trees planted in clearings amongst standing trees. 

 

I can handle 250 by myself, but might lose the will to live on a 1000 without someone to banter with. Is anyone in the area up for a few days in a nice woodland planting hardwoods?

 

They'll be tubed and staked, done to a high standard. Cowboy planters needs not apply ?

I've probably only done a few thousand trees in my time and I've always enjoyed it. Just don't like doing it by it myself as I found it works better on a production line type approach. IE, first person lays out stakes, 2nd person tubes, 1st person saplings, 2nd person hammers in stake, 1st person plants sapling, 2nd person does the tube. Doing blocks of 100-200 trees like this is quite quick.

planted 16,000 trees round some gravell pits over the winter of 82/83 got a bit pissed of with it by about 2000 trees, the bloke i was doing it with did not have a sense of hummor at all and was the most boringest person i have ever worked with ,so a little banter in the day just helps a bit, winter after we went back weeding round trees, NOW that was a shit job, so when it comes to weeding i am busy that day,,, sorry,

It's all about the banter when planting I feel. You have to work like a nutter to get the job done, but have a laugh whilst doing it.
