What happens here

After the auger has dug the holes, a worker uses a shovel to perform minor adjustments, specifically clearing 'crumbs' from the bottom of the hole. The presenter then emphasizes a key benefit by showing the texture of the excavated soil: it's finely pulverized, resembling 'puréed' dirt, rather than clumpy. This fine texture is critical for optimal tree planting.

Goal: Prepare the holes for planting and evaluate the quality of the excavated soil.

Tools and materials

  • Shovel — Leveling the bottom of the holes and clearing loose debris
  • Pulverized Soil N/A — Backfilling around the tree's root ball
