Photograph of Tree Planting with Michigan Planting Bar - NARA - 2129003. A tree planting bar or dibble bar [1] is a tool used by foresters to plant trees, especially in large-scale afforestation or reforestation. It is very ergonomic, as it greatly speeds up the planting and prevents back pain. [2] Pointed planting bars are better for rockier ...
A straight dibber. A dibber or dibble or dibbler is a pointed wooden stick for making holes in the ground so that seeds, seedlings or small bulbs can be planted. Dibbers come in a variety of designs including the straight dibber, T-handled dibber, trowel dibber, and L-shaped dibber.
The tool is a tube (of ca. 90cm long); a pedal opens a pointed beak (also described as a type of scissors [2]) at the base, which creates the planting hole; at the same time a seedling (for instance in a paper pot [3]) is dropped down the tube, and after the seedling is free from the tube, the beak can be closed again with a thumb controlled ...
Using digging bars to move rocks A girl and a man dig a hole with a heavy digging bar to plant a tree.

But if you want something you can bring out for many years to come, an artificial tree could be the better option. Standing at 7.5 feet tall, this artificial pine tree is particularly eye-catching.
There existed large numbers of able bodied young people interested in working the land in a cooperative fashion. Tree planting also lends itself to work in an egalitarian manner; the work is not complex and all planters on a crew can perform the same task. Many Hoedads had educational backgrounds far beyond what is typical in the logging industry.
