What happens here

Use a drill with a 5/16-inch drill bit to create holes in the logs. The instructions recommend spacing the holes approximately 4 inches apart and staggering them around the log's surface. The presenter humorously demonstrates using his finger as a 4-inch measurement guide. Drill enough holes to accommodate roughly 50 plugs per log, ensuring a good distribution for mushroom growth.

Goal: Create appropriately spaced holes for mushroom plugs.

Tools and materials

  • 5/16-inch Drill Bit — Creating the correct size holes for the mushroom plugs
  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Drilling holes into the logs
  • Measuring Tape Stanley FatMax — Measuring 4-inch spacing for holes (or use a finger as a rough guide)

What they say

Hide

some holes. Instructions say 4 in 4 in apart. Well, I took this here scientific thing right here and I measured my dagum finger and look at there. It's about 4 in. So, we going to use that finger instead of this ruler cuz this ruler it works but it ain't all that
