In the past, New Zealand farming ripped out rows and rows of shelter belts to accomodate the dairy boom. However now, how effective was that? Yes, sure it has made way for more effective dairy practices and greater coverage for irrigation, but how about soil erosion by wind, rain and other extreme weather events/
The iconic Canterbury shelter belt prevents soil erosion and has proven to increase farm productivity. A shelterbelt or wide hedge planted along a boundary provide a physical barrier between neighbouring farm animals. This can significantly reduce the spread of disease by nose to nose contact.
Here at Ezycut, we keep your shelterbelt healthy. A shelterbelt must be managed to give optimal results. Do regular grass and weeding control, however you do need the assistance of a much more specialised tool to handle the length and height of man farm shelterbelts. A handheld hedge trimmer pales in comparision to our tree trimming equipment.
To keep your shelterbelts maintained on a regular basis, contact Camryn and his team at Ezycut.
