Partial Boxes

Gossip, rumours, and random thoughts. Imagine 1000+ people sitting around a campfire: planters, foremen, owners, and foresters. Add kegs. Now imagine the chaos.

Partial Boxes

Post by Scooter »

To clarify, the universal symbol in tree planting for a partial box is three flaps closed, one flap open. This is so when your foreman looks under the cache quickly, he or she does not mistakenly think that the partial box with only four bundles in it is actually a full box.

I also enjoy the stick with flagger tied to one end sticking out the top of the box when three or more seedlots are being used or for summer trees (that need to breath). That way even my most rushed planters can clearly see that there is a partial and not open new boxes.

I thought the universal symbol for a partial was the question "Who's trees are in that box sitting over there?"

Also, never leave an empty box of trees under the tarp at your cache. A hurried foreman will see the tarp propped up by a box and assume there are trees in it. Empty boxes should be collapsed and stacked on the roadside. And the tarp should be laying flat. That's my most recent beef.
