Tree Mulch Ring Maker

Tree Mulch Ring Maker FARM HOME Miscellaneous “We have a small orchard of about 100 trees around which I like to place a nice round circle of mulch ” says Ernest Hofer Olivet S Dak “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 ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Ernest Hofer 27709 Tschetter Ave Olivet S Dak 57052 ph 605-770-9778; tsc ernest@gmail com
