What happens here

Using the drill with the depth-marked drill bit, drill holes into the logs. Space the holes approximately every six to seven inches along the log. After drilling a line of holes, rotate the log to access other sides and continue drilling, ensuring the entire surface suitable for inoculation is covered with holes. Maintain consistent depth using the tape mark on the drill bit.
