FARM VLOG: SO WHATS IN THE BOX?

What happens here

The farmer mentions that walnut hulls can be used to create natural wood stain by soaking them in water or olive oil, but he will not pursue this and discards the hulls. He then prepares for planting by gathering his tools: a bucket of de-husked walnuts, a tamper tool (also used for prying rocks), a short-handled spade shovel (though he primarily uses the tamper), and pink survey flags. He plans to plant either two or three walnuts together in various spots along his creek side, within a few feet of each other, to increase the chances of successful growth and to deter squirrels from eating all of them.

Goal: Gather tools and strategize walnut planting to maximize growth.

there's something we haven't talked about there's a few cool things you can do with this walnut these walnut hulls right here so if you soak these in water I do believe or in olive oil they will pull out that walnut stain color and you can actually stain wood naturally with this natural walnut pretty cool we're not gonna do that we're gonna throw it away I don't have anything I need to stain so we're looking at a fairly simple planting procedure here and I'll show you exactly what we're gonna do we're gonna open up the ground and jab one of these in the ground and then let it grow the biggest threat to what we're doing here is gonna be squirrels okay probably 50% of the nuts that I plant today will be picked up by squirrels which is unfortunate but it's the way it goes all right so I've got my flags and I'm gonna try two different tools I have this tamper tool and basically it's also used for prying rocks out of the ground and I'm going to try it and I'm also gonna try my little
