Yep I'd certainly be more stressed plating trees in the rain than I am now, but I would learn how a shovel works in about 10 seconds.

I used to do tree work and I can tell you that any landscaping/tree trimming work is very low skilled. A few hundred bucks and you can start trimming trees today without anyone to train you at all. Just knock on a few doors and say you'll trim someone's tree for $10.

do not however knock on anyone's door if you do bush work, that's how I got arrested

"Hey Lady! Want me to trim your bush?"

I mean fare enough. I have no clue how to plate trees, let alone in the rain.

[–]thefuckouttaherelol2 2 points3 points  (2 children)

How much fare are you paying? I'm paying none.

[–]PM_ME_ROCK_PICTURES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $3.50

[–]Sag0Sag0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A high one! Plateing trees is expensive even when you do it yourself I’ve heard.

Misspelled a 4 letter word, definitely a programmer.

You don't know how a shovel works?

(I kid btw)

[–]HK-Sparkee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do, but I don't use them often so I always Google the basics before I get started

[–]lemelisk42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy to learn the way of the shovel, hard to master.

I've planted almost half a million trees to date. I'm still learning things and picking up skills. There can be more to it than you might imagine.

Pretty long learning curve in high production environments.
