Arborvitae Privacy Hedge

I use the Harbor Freight Trencher and the Kioti CS2520 to plant some evergreens on the hill.

Nice job there Shawne. I just recently planted 20 of those myself. I used my tractor and post hole digger but still had to hand dig the holes a bit wider. Yes I also wear gloves when i can remember to put them on!

Yeah - I’m compulsive about the gloves. I actually probably cut a full minute from this video by editing out all the times I stopped to put on or take off those gloves. I planted those kinda close together but I hope that won’t create an issue for a few years. That view at the end from the kitchen window should show how anxious I am to get a hedge on that strip.

I wonder why the dirt on the root ball of arbs is always rock solid 😮

Not sure, but this was ridiculous.
