well i just got done a day or two ago with planting the oaks we got from the county conservation district!! we cleared over an acre of woods last year cause most the oaks were gone and it was all maples and the hardin county conservation district was giving trees away and we took everything they had left at the end of the day so we planted around 400 oaks prolly close to 1000 pines and maybe 40 or 50 red buds!! took a couple days but with the wet ground wasnt too bad!! Ill get some pics posted up soon!!

How did you dig the holes? Did you use an auger? 1400 trees in 2 days you must had the whole crew out there.
