pulling your largest equipment from the orchard block into the headlands,
turning around, and returning into the orchard block as if you were enter-

and cause damage to trees and equipment.
Create right angles for planting blocks. If your design includes right angles
for the corners of the orchard blocks, you will need a reference line along
the orchard block, a starting corner, three stout stakes, and a measuring tape
200 to 300 feet long. The idea is to create a triangle that has side lengths in
a ratio of 3:4:5. This is easier to do than it sounds.
