2-Wheel Tractor
We chat with Zach Loeks, an educator and grower who specializes in edible ecosystem design.
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’s books are:
