These look like USDF plugs. I remember planting these by the thousands when I was in the eighth grade one summer. They had a contraption that was a long tube, about 10 or 12 feet high. They would load up about 15 plants in it and send you out in the field to plant. Just place end where you want a tree, step real hard on the shovel end, and pull the trigger. The plant would be dispensed in the whole. Push the earth around with your foot and firm up.

Once you get the hang of it, you could plant about a hundred per hour. Thats with telling dirty stories and jokes and shooting spitwads at your buddies. Think how many we could have planted if we had really applied ourselves.

If these things really grab hold, you may need a very big pot!

Fireproof too, good for So. Cal.
