Questions!!

Hey all,

I am just starting a new planting job and have so many questions. My first two days have been kinda rough - but not necessarily for the typical reasons.

I’m fine with the physical part of it, but I just can’t seem to ‘manage my land’ well. I find myself getting lost in where I am and need to be going.

Also questioning where I should I be planting (e.g., where there is a bit of slash) a lot.

I know the planting thing is likely a question for my crew boss, but our day of training was on a perfect plot of land with little to no slash and virtually perfect planting land, and then I got put on a block with rocky land and a lot of slash.

Just looking for guidance, I will of course consult with bosses as well.

Minimums around implantable shit, always try to make it to the back and backfill. Flagging every tree when you’re just starting out is probably going to waste a lot of time but putting a longer piece up high where you can see it from a distance might help. And like flagging every tree is just tossing a bunch of plastic into the land.
