Tree Mulch Ring Maker
![]() |
![]() |
“I used to use a tape measure and measure away from the tree trunk, making marks in the dirt. But that took time and wasn’t that easy to follow.
“So, I measured the diameter of the ring that I wanted, divided by 2, and then used some scrap 1/2-in. dia. rod to make a gauge. I welded an old bean header blade to the end to serve as a scratch marker. I put a 4 by 4-in. piece of flat iron on the other end to butt up against the tree. There are two handles along the rod that make it easy to make a perfect circle around each tree that I can then fill with mulch.”
