Planting A Surprise Crop On The Farm! But what is it?
What happens here
The process of planting bare root trees is shown using a dibble. The dibble is stabbed into the ground, and a Crabapple seedling is inserted into the opened wedge. The ground is then compacted around the seedling with a foot to ensure good soil-to-root contact. To mark the newly planted tree and prevent it from being accidentally mowed over, an orange flagging ribbon is tied around the seedling.
Goal: Demonstrate planting bare root seedlings with a dibble and marking them.
