    My fucking back tensed just looking at this shit. Never helping plant signs again. Though it was cool the signs were made to use one of those instead of just stabbing it in the ground like those weak ass wire frame ones.

          Yeah, doesn’t involve burying or getting into the actual ground itself from anything I’ve seen about it.

          Using that phrase, to “plant” a sign would be to lay it on top of the ground. So it wouldn’t be wrong for a large weighted sign I guess, but the pictures about pouring something into the ground.

              You said plant your feet, that has a specific definition, which is different than the one you’re using now for planting.

              Language is tough. But yeah, no planting a sign is not a correct term for what you would do. Like at all, no matter how you try to stretch definitions.

                  Yep plant has multiple definitions, and neither is for placing signs in the ground, and it also is different in the specific phrase “plant your feet”. Neither refer to rooting.

                  The nuances are tough, but they are there.

                  Maybe provide the specific definition that you’re confusing the right one with and we could clear this up.

                    You are the only one here who appears confused; everyone else understood exactly what was meant by ‘planting a sign’

      Loosen your grip right before it hits, not enough that you lose control but enough that you’re not going to take much of the impact. It might take an extra hit or two, but it also might mean that you can push it down a little bit harder as well knowing that you don’t have to absorb the impact

      Edit: or don’t, I don’t care
