      • At the selected location, use a post hole digger to make a hole for the node.

      • Take your time so as to not disturb the soil too much.

      • Use a tape measure to make sure the hole is 3 feet deep.

      • The soil removed from the hole will fill roughly 2 buckets

      • Fill the first bucket with topsoil

      • When the soil begins to look like clay, switch to filling the second bucket

      • Set the GI node into the 3 ft hole.

      • Do your best to make sure it is straight in the ground.

      • Pack the topsoil from the first bucket around the node to make sure it is secure in place. You shouldn't need to use any soil from the second bucket

      • If the surrounding plants are too tall, shading the solar panel, use the shears to trim the plants.
