He talks about the two-wheel tractor, a versatile piece of equipment that he says can be used by backyard gardeners, homesteaders, edible landscapers, and in community gardens.
(If you’re about to skip this episode because you don’t want more equipment…stay a while. Zach has insights into soil and tillage too.)
In this episode we talk about:
- A look at the 2-wheel tractor
- How it’s different from a rototiller
- How home gardeners, landscapers, and homesteaders can use 2-wheel tractors
- What can a 2-wheel tractor do beyond tilling (spoiler alert: they can blow snow and bale hay too!)
- Earthworks for swales, berms, and beds on contour
- Tillage: minimum till vs. no-till
Zach is the author of The Two-wheel Tractor Handbook.
