In the San Francisco Bay Area, creativity and sustainable practices are at the forefront of our minds. That's where the culture of DIY comes in. By doing it yourself, you're making the choice to save money, to test and hone your skills, and often to lighten your impact on the environment. So, what are the best tools for the job? Let's break it down into some specific categories.
Gardening
When it comes to gardening, having the right equipment will not only save you time and money but also boost your garden's output. John Deere's compact tractors can be equipped with myriad attachments to make your life easier, like a Frontier Spreader for evenly spreading seed or fertilizer. If you're working on a larger garden, a Rotary Tiller will definitely save you time and labor.
Quick Tip
Efficiency is key to a high-yielding, sustainable garden. Consider practices such as companion planting and water conservation. Some plants like garlic or basil can help to repel insects. Plant these near tomatoes to diminish the impact of insects on your veggies. Additionally, you should consider planting based on your crop's needs: vegetables like cucumbers and onions require more water than others. By planting them near each other, you can help to minimize your water waste in other parts of the garden.

Landscaping
Landscaping can require a very specific set of tools. If you're doing a lot of digging and backfilling, you may be needing a Backhoe - John Deere's compact tractors have a user-friendly, highly versatile backhoe attachment available for all models from the 1 Series through the 4 Series. If you're moving some dirt or leveling a plot of land, check out an implement like a Land Plane or a Box Blade. For more specific needs like digging post holes, we've still got exactly what you're looking for with the Frontier PHD Series.
