Planting A Surprise Crop On The Farm! But what is it?
What happens here
The video demonstrates the use of specialized tools for planting. For nuts like Black Walnuts, a power drill equipped with a long auger bit is used to create holes in the ground. For bare root trees, a dibble (planting bar) is introduced. The dibble has a flat, wedge-shaped blade and a T-handle. To use it, you stab the blade into the ground, rock it back and forth to create a wedge-shaped opening, insert the bare root seedling, and then close the opening by pressing down with your foot.
Goal: Understand and demonstrate the use of an auger and dibble for planting.
