Started at 9 am, finished about half 3 (to include the fun bit viz power-hosing all the trodden in mud that I didn't backfill back off the pavement onto the garden - and watering the plants at the same time!)

It's still painful!

I'm not going to mention how many plants per day experienced forestry workers (i.e. not me) can put in per day. Just that the going rate used to be £50 / 1000 trees.

perhaps they spend it all on chiropractors' fees ? (no, actually, you knock off at 4pm and go down the pub)

Isn't that just cut a slit, drop whip and press slit together with boot and onto the next one?
