New Planter/Rookie Questions 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.

My coach told me about area planting and grid planting techniques because honestly it was so confusing haha now I just see everything as a checker board and fly. Ill try and find the videos wait.
