The Dozer

I've read recently that to keep a healthy soil structure we should minimize tillage, ya know don't dig in the dirt too much and kill all the worms and bugs. Should we be scared because I think this is gonna mess with our soil structure. Actually I'm just poking fun at the men here on Growing Boys Farm. I've heard that men love their toys and my fellas are no different. 4-wheelers, tractors, anything with wheels and a motor but when the bulldozer pulled into the drive, we'll you can imagine the look on their faces. We really did need the bulldozer to handle some drainage issues around the new barn (I know I haven't shared pictures yet) and the greenhouse spot needed some leveling done. I guess boys and their toys come in handy, the fellas here like to remind me of that sometimes.

Bulldozers are not particularly harmful on soil structure. As a matter of fact, these are used to level large mounds of soil. The most common use of a bulldozer is to move large amounts of earth and soil. It can push piles of material in front of it and put it down somewhere else. It saves workers the trouble of using a backhoe to lift everything. That’s why your boys love to drive and ride this equipment!
