    • 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.
