It's easier to let the squirrels plant the nuts, though they won't put  
them in neat rows.  I have walnuts and filberts coming up all over the  
yard and also in small pots, all planted by absent-minded squirrels.

You could just leave a pile of nuts in one corner of the field, and  
let them go to it.

More on topic:  I bottle a lot of apricots and peaches each year and  
dump the pits in the vegetable garden.  I get germination from  
peaches, though not a high % considering the number of seeds.  I don't  
get any apricots.
