Quote:
A Hoedad is a tool used to plant trees. The Hoedads Cooperative was a unique social and political workforce whose members consciously or unconsciously partook in a restoration and healing of the northwest timber industry that too often was (and still is) motivated by greed instead of sustainable and sound practices.
Take a look at the picture in Permalink #12. That terrain is typical.

if you are set up right next to that acre, a bag of seed balls and a planting stick can seed that acre in a lot less than an hour and a half.
Have you ever done that? Take a look at the picture in Permalink #12. That terrain is typical. I lived with tree planters. They have a rythm, swing the hoedad, open a hole a foot deep while you grab a 12-18" tree, drop it in the hole and heal it. Rinse and repeat over a hillside covered with slash. It's not a job for the unfit.

Spray and pray from an airplane wouldn't be as effective as a first person shooter from a drone.
