In the video, a person is seen holding a tray of soil and a small plant. The person is using their hands to press the soil into the tray, ensuring that it is packed tightly. The tray is then placed on a table, and the person begins to press the soil down with their fingers, making sure that it is evenly distributed. The person's movements are deliberate and careful, indicating that they are experienced in this task. The soil appears to be dark and rich, and the tray is a standard size for planting small seedlings. The background of the video is blurred, but it seems to be a garden or greenhouse setting.
