Cord, your profile doesn't say where you live, but you might check with your state's conservation groups. My bro-in-law signed up to have trees planted on his property. He WAS required to plant trees that the state wanted, and he had to pay for a fence to protect the trees from animals, but the state paid for part of the deal.
They furnished the tree planter, which had a barrier material laydown feature. It really worked slick.
I don't think it would be tough to build something like they used, if you had a toolbar to start with.
