It&#8217;s exciting (to me, anyway) to be able to put a steel post into our dry\/hard Arizona soil with not too much effort. My project turned out to be tougher than I thought, though. This tree has never been able to withstand the strong winds we get a couple of times a year so it has been tied down for the last 5 years. I got tired of tripping or falling over the wire tie downs so I asked my metal artist friend, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/joanwaters.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joan Waters<\/a><\/strong>, to help me figure out something a little less annoying. We put our heads together and came up with a tree collar with supports. The tough part was trying to get the driver over the poles because they were so close to the trunk but I did it. All in all, it looks a lot better than the wires. It remains to be seen if it can support the tree in high winds but I&#8217;m hopeful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any time I&#8217;m using tools, I&#8217;m happy and I got to use one of my favorites today&#8230;.my pink fence post driver!
