Farming trick: use a saw to prepare the soil!
We all enjoy innovative tricks that put simple and common tools to a different and fresh use, such as using recycled items in the garden. Of course, you have to be careful when using a tool in a new way and don’t forget about safety, but I’ve used a trick in different situations and got good results, so I’m sharing it with you, maybe for You are also useful.
In this trick, we use a simple hand saw as a combination of a rake and a plowing machine. Usually, when tidying up the small and young trees that have grown on the edge of the garden, I keep a simple and blunt saw next to me, with which I cut the rubble, leaves, small branches, and weeds that grow between the trees. I clean the young ones that have grown.
The simplicity of this trick and its comprehensiveness are the best points. By placing the saw in the soil, so that the teeth of the blade sink into the soil, and pulling it in a column into the soil, you can easily sweep loose rubble and other excess materials in the soil, while at the same time small plants. and separate the shallow from the surface of the earth. By repeating this movement several times, you can easily plow the soil.
A handsaw is not as fast as a rake when it comes to cutting larger materials, but it is more versatile because material that might get caught between the rake’s prongs does not get caught between the teeth of a handsaw. Also, it is not a good hand plow for separating weeds from sawdust, because it does not remove them from the roots, but it can provide a good start for plowing or quickly clear the desired environment to an acceptable level and the land Smoother for other tools.
It may seem like a strange trick, but it is very effective. Years ago, I cut down young trees on a large part of my land, leaving that part of the land with nothing but weeds and a few plants. I worked on that part of the ground with a slow saw which ended up creating a decent amount of plowed and bare soil. I could have made that section completely green with grass seed, but I decided to let the grass from the adjacent section infiltrate that section. You may not believe it, but it happened. Today, that part of the field is filled with lush grass and beautiful flowers, while the area I plowed without a handsaw has more weeds than grass.
Is it a strange idea? maybe But it’s a good way to use a slow, old-fashioned saw, and it’s worked well for me.
