FARM VLOG: SO WHATS IN THE BOX?

What happens here

The farmer demonstrates the simple planting process: he uses the tamper tool to create a hole in the ground, drops a de-husked walnut into the hole, gently taps the soil over it, and then places a pink survey flag right next to the spot to mark its location. He reiterates his goal of planting all the nuts around the farm, hoping for a future forest of walnut trees.

Goal: Successfully plant all de-husked walnuts on the farm.

Tools and materials

  • Pink Survey Flags
  • Tamper Tool
  • De-husked Black Walnuts
