Planting A Surprise Crop On The Farm! But what is it?
What happens here
Bald Cypress trees, which prefer wet conditions, are planted in a very wet area of the farm using the drill with an auger bit. The auger creates a deep, narrow hole suitable for the bare root seedlings. The roots of the Bald Cypress are carefully placed into the hole, ensuring they reach sufficient depth. After planting, the ground is firmed up around the base of the seedling.
Goal: Plant Bald Cypress trees in wet areas using an auger for deep root placement.
