tree planter

I know of at least one person who used the Boy Scouts to plant a tree farm -- by donating $1 a tree for every tree they planted. The Boy Scouts did it as a fund-raiser and it fit right into their environmental focus....

At planting time, the owner ran the "water wagon" and the trees were all hand planted....

Here is an old post of mine with pics of my tree planter, links to one in the NW and a discussion about planting trees by the acre.
Tree planter pics and discussion

Addendum, the Blueline link needs the end chopped-off ( beyond .com ) but apparently they don't make a planter anymore.
On the attachment picture search for the 'Enlarge' symbol lower right by waving the cursor around.

You should check with the FSA or Soil and Water offices. Most do rent them at a reasonable rate.

Can't comment on how well it works, but I'vee seen idea plans for a simple metal bar that you build and fasten onto ( across) one of the back tire rims. As you drive forward you get a slit every several feet ( tractor dependent). Supposed to be good for planting lots of seedlings - not sure it would work well with the rocks I have /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Maybe someone else has seen it in action.
