I hate to rain on your parade but. I am getting geared up to start sping planting and digging right now. The family nursery has been in bussiness for 80 years.
Equipment will kill you $$ wise. esspesially if you are planting shade/ornimental trees. Keep in mind that you cant just go dig a tree out of your feild anytime your customer wants one. You have to dig when the tree (depending on speices)will survive the shock.
That means digging,mulching, and 100's of gals. of water.
The industry standered here in Iowa is full replacement if the tree/shrub dies in the first growing season-half price the second. That is weather the costomer planted it wrong, did not water properly or whatever.
And then there is your dept. of ag. to come and inspect your fields if you are selling comercally.
Sorry for the long rant. I just got home from work and it aint easy man. Im tired.
