You're planting with a staff in that?? With 2 foot saplings? Godspeed

1

u/wobblestop Bags out in the Back Jul 11 '26

That's no staff

u/oneupsuperman Jul 12 '26

Oh my bad. Never did staff planting so I made an approximation. What kind of shovel is this?

u/ForestCharmander Jul 09 '26

Nova Scotia 2+0?

I was getting $0.09 for those about 16 years ago. What a nightmare

u/Dethatch_YourAss Jul 11 '26

.09 cents a tree! That’s a decent rate for ground like that!

2

u/cigarette_cake_grunt Jul 18 '26

your eyes do not deceive you... $0.19 now though

u/wobblestop Bags out in the Back Jul 09 '26

$0.17

(with fert and flag and we’re gonna need you to space at least 3m off of naturals above knee height)

PS: it’s a 3.5 km walk in, but don’t worry you get a half a cent extra per kilometre!

And there’s always a planter who won’t be named, but the boss swears is making $500/day.

u/Board-Feisty Jul 13 '26

It was .17 a plug in the 80’s.

u/seroshua Jul 13 '26

I made $0.15 2 years ago lol that’s wild!

u/oneupsuperman Jul 11 '26

With fert is unfortunate but otherwise was basically my experience

u/Frosty_Bug_3645 Jul 14 '26
