    Careful with large wood chip piles: they can get super heated in the center and combust. You'll want to get that spread out soon.

    Using a pitch fork for mulch will make your life easier.

    Here's a great tip for moving a lot of mulch around. Use a tarp and spread it out next to the pile of woodchips. Then, shovel or rake a bunch onto the tarp. Then lift up the two corners farthest away from the pile and drag it to where you need the chips. Really fast and easy.

    Kind of agree with previous comments about termites and carpenter ants. We live in a cold climate as well and usually put stone within the first few feet of foundation.

    @TeriDuncan8049 Před měsícem +1

    Connor, when cutting a tree down, always have an exit strategy in case the tree kicks back towards you. And after you cut or push the tree get father back away from it!! You could also put mulch around the trees you'll be mowing around, just don't put the mulch all the way to the trunk, leave at least 6 inches from trunk to the start of the mulch. Edited to add...to help the stumps rot quick, cut away some of the inside of the stumps with power saw and plant annuals in it, the roots will work thru stump and the soil you add will keep moisture in to help it rot. ❤️💞❤️

  • @kristiphillips7783
    @kristiphillips7783 Před měsícem +1

    My first thought was the termites too. I enquired once about having a tree service dump wood chips on our property when working in our area and most said they wouldn't if not within 10 feet of the house for that reason (but will if not as doing so saves them a trip to the landfill locations). I guess the stuff in the bags or what you get from landscape companies has been treated so it isn't an issue. We have cold winters here too and makes no difference. We were advised to move our wood storage away from the side of the house also. There may be a spray or something you can spray around your house to prevent that or hire a pest control company to do? I have no clue.
    It is looking awesome and so happy for you two. Dinner looked yummy too!!

    June in Northern Michigan can be insect hell. So far this year, not so bad.
    It's good to see you taking on challenges and building skills.
    I always used to say, why buy a gym membership.. just buy some land that needs work
    I know that you two have spent a boatload of money recently, but now that you've entered the DIY phase, you're going to need a utility vehicle.
    Were I a betting man, I would bet that you are well aware, but think about some sort of trailer option with it.
    Don't forget to stop once in a while to relax and smell the sweet fern.
