Hamm's Arbor Care is now...making soap? Well, not quite, but they are adding their biochar to soap. Kevin has all the details this episode, along with the best way to water your trees, how to handle spongy moth, and why an arborist should be planting your trees.

Kevin and Shawn talk all about biochar.

Kevin and Shawn talk about the different types of trees you can plant and what locations are best for which types of trees.

Being an arborist is one of the most dangerous jobs in the U.S. Kevin joins us to talk about an recent on-the-job accident that could have been a whole lot worse if not for the extensive safety measures Hamm's uses and why it makes tree removal so expensive.

Bug season has started, which means Hamm's Arbor Care has started spraying for bugs. Kevin talks about the difficulties of spraying at this time of year. Also, biochar - what is it, how is it used, and what it means for Hamm's.

Kevin makes a rare studio appearance and he talks with Shawn about legacy trees, animals he's gotten out of trees (yes, he rescues cats), tree safety, what he looks at when he arrives at a property, and how he took up sourdough bread baking as a hobby.

Kevin talks about degree days, oak whilt, and why there's a window for oak trimming. Also, there's an issue with the newsletter that everyone should know about.
