Exploring Tractor Builds For Farmwork

Hi there, I am Michael McGregor. I would like to discuss all of the different upgrades you can find for your tractor. On the farm, we use our tractor to complete a wide range of tasks, including digging, planting, and harvesting, depending on the season. The stock tractor just didn't cut it as an all purpose vehicle, however. As a result, we had to alter its build to make it perform each task perfectly. We added a heavy-duty tow hitch, brighter lights, engine upgrades, and even a new paint job. Although we did a lot of the work ourselves, we also hired a professional from time to time. I'd like to explore tractor builds used for different agricultural tasks. I will discuss DIY and professional practices used for these builds. Thank you.

Tips to Help Keep Your Tree Healthy

The health and condition of the trees on your property is important for both the appearance and safety of your property. Unfortunately, there are some new homeowners that may not be particularly well-informed when it concerns caring for the trees on their land. To help you minimize the risk of making a few routine mistakes, you might want to be aware of these three tree-care tips.   

Be Mindful of the Trees During Construction or Landscaping Projects

The root system is essential for bring trees nutrients and water. Unfortunately, many homeowners may overlook the fact that the roots can extend far from the base of the tree. As a result, they may not consider the roots when they are undertaking landscaping or construction projects. Due to this oversight, the roots can be at risk of being damaged by excavations or by the weight of the structure and equipment on the soil. In order to avoid these problems, you will want to have the area surveyed by a professional tree-care expert to help determine whether tree roots are present.

Avoid Directly Spraying the Trunk with Sprinklers

When you are watering the yard, sprinklers may be an excellent option for easily doing this chore. However, you will want to be careful with the positioning of these sprinklers. If the jet of water is able to repeatedly strike the trunk of the tree, it can saturate the wood enough to place it at risk of rotting or developing mold.

Place Mulch Around the Base of the Tree

Mulch can be an extremely cost-effective way to help protect your trees from common problems. For example, the mulch will help to retain water around the base of the tree. Also, it can prevent weeds from being able to grow near the tree. Lastly, the mulch will gradually decompose, and while this will mean you need to regularly add more mulch, the decomposition also returns valuable nutrients to the soil around the tree.

Tree care is an important factor that many property owners will need to address. However, this aspect of owning land can be something that is very easy to overlook, and that can result in serious health problems for your trees. By understanding the threats construction and landscaping projects pose to the roots, the need to avoid letting sprinklers strike the trunk of the tree, and the benefits of using mulch, you will find that you are a far better informed homeowner when it concerns the large trees on your property.
