Compared to the other workdays we’ve done, willow staking is a relatively low-exertion activity. It basically involves poking a hole in the ground, putting a stick in it, and backfilling the hole with dirt. These are usually pretty chill and chatty workdays! Also, it will be a shorter workday – approx 2.5 hours.
