I've got 1600 strawberry plants arriving next month, and at a minute a piece,
they would take 27 hours of solid labor to get in the ground. Any tips for
radically cutting down the amount of time to plant a plant? I have a BCS and
hand tools available. Has anyone used a wedge bar to make a slit in the soil?
(I'm thinking this might be useful, as the roots are supposed to go straight
down.) Any ideas welcome.
