Newton Nursery lifting transplants 1981
Photographs courtesy of Alan Duncan, Newton Nursery.
Hand lifting of Sitka spruce transplants for delivery to the forest planting sites. The plants in the transplant lines are being lifted upwards by a blade drawn at an angle through the soil. The slackened plants are then pulled up by hand, counted and tied in bundles of 100 or 50 as required.
Dyke Murray is bending down doing the lifting and the tractor with the Fobro plant slackener behind is driven by Willie Anderson.
