FARM VLOG: SO WHATS IN THE BOX?

What happens here

Discovering that manually removing the husks is tedious, the farmer devises a more efficient method. He places the walnuts in a cardboard box, then uses a baseball bat to repeatedly hit and crush the outer husks, which helps to separate them from the inner shell. He then transfers the husked walnuts into a blue bucket, preparing them for planting. He jokes about his wife being out of town, allowing him to use this unconventional method.

Goal: Efficiently remove walnut husks using a baseball bat.

Tools and materials

  • Baseball Bat
  • Blue Bucket
  • Cardboard Box
  • Nitrile Gloves
  • Husked Black Walnuts
