Kevin Ham. Kevin, how you doing this morning?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh? What a glorious day.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, I gotta guess the and correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
The perfect day for you.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
The sun is out, no to little breeze, temperature is
a little cooler and low humidity. Has got to be
the absolutely perfect kind of dream day for you.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah. Yeah, we're just about everything. Yeah, we could inject trees,
we could anything. Yeah, pray and of course working hard
taking down a tree. We took down a big forty
some inch diameter silver maple yesterday. Oh and uh that
was that was a big operation that that got that
got recorded, So that'll be up. I'm starting to go
(01:08):
to multiple cameras, oh high tech. I head enlist somebody
else to edit it. But I think I think it's
the missing link in what we're doing here and just
having a different camera angles. You know, the old cinematic
rule is a scene change every seven seconds.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh oh, the whole.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And well we'll see.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I have I have a feeling as your as your
grandkids get a little bit older, I have a feeling
there's going to be a little job for.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Them at at Ham's. Yeah, they've got an aswer.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And speaking of you mentioned you know that kind of
that perfect weather and the opportunity to get out and

that game offtrees dot Com. But Kevin as mentioned, the
weather is just glorious right now, and you guys are
out out doing a whole lot of work, and we're
kind of writing between that second and third fungicidal spray
right now, aren't we Yeah, I mean this.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Would be a perfect spray day, but we're in between,
and we've got a little dry spell maybe coming up.
We're we always kind of wigh do we do we
go out and hit you know, the last treatment, or
do we wade out the dry weather? You know, there's
all this nuance of of you know, how to time
(02:49):
the sprays. But yeah, we're in between that that window
right now. So we're out grinding some stumps from the winter,
and we're taking down some other trees and we'll be
starting our biochar treatments soon and some the the eab injections,
(03:12):
the ash treatments that we.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Have the Emerald.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So if you haven't had your ash tree, or if
you've recently bought a house, maybe you have an ash
tree that was being treated by someone else, you can
you can hit us up to continue those treatments.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Great day to do just that.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
All I got to just pick a phone, give a
call eight six six five nine six five three nine six.
That's eight sixty six five nine six five three nine six.
Can also get that number and get more information online
at Hamsarborcare dot com. That's h a m ms Arborcare
dot com. All one word again the website Hamsarborcare dot com.
Speaking of the website Game of Trees dot com is
(03:52):
your other website little uh, little retail and some other
stuff going on there. And one of the things that
that you guys offer at hand Sarborcare through Game of
Trees is uh is those portage and main boilers and uh,
I know what was in the thirties overnight last night.
I've got a guess those are popular and folks are saying,
you know what, it's perfect time to start that conversation.
(04:13):
You've been out doing estimates on on boilers, haven't you, Kevin.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, Well, my son in law, for example, Uh, they've
got in floor heat and of course these chili nights,
it would have been a cold floor, but he kind
of kept his boiler going and and now he's got
you know, he's nice and comfortable on these days, and
so yeah, it's it's a beautiful source of heat, he
really is.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And it's and it's as we all are watching energy
prices and other things you think about a way to
save money is last time I checked wood trees lumber,
pretty available. There's there's plenty of firewe and other things
out there, and.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It is Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And one of the cool features of the portage and
main boilers that you carry is they are they are
very efficient and they're not too particular about whatever kind
of medium you're putting in there, whether it's different types
of tree species, aged not aged properly, all those different
things are seasoned, I think, is the word that.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That they like to use.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yes, they're they're pretty non Uh, they're not particularly forgiving.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You put what wood in there, within one cycle of
of heating it, it will it will dry that wood
out and burn it just fine. I did a lot
of demonstration of that this this winter. We we would
cut down a tree, a green maple, you know, I'd
split it up, throw it, throw it in there, and
and yeah, the heats the same, a little more steam
(05:44):
coming out the stack. That steam burns off pretty fast.
And then you've got the the charcoal in there that's
just doing this thing.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Pretty amazing stuff. And speaking of the charcoal doing its thing,
biochar something that that you guys off or dgameoftrees dot com.
Obviously we've talked about the soap, body wash, shampooge and
it's an amazing product but also biochart in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You sell bags of it for folks.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I givated charcoal.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, let's talk about what that for folks that don't know.
How does that exactly work? How does that benefit gardens,
lawns and trees.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, you know, we may have it in garden centers
here in the next year or so. We're we're stetting
up a you know, a bagging system and you know,
you can you can mix it. You know, pure activated
charcoal is kind of uncharged, and so if you're buying
activated charcoal without it being fortified with something, well, then
(06:42):
you just mix it with a compost or manure, uh
and and it will charge with that. Or like this
time of year, you you could put it down ahead
of the the tilling, you know, and then you chill
it into the soil and it'll charge within you know,
a week or so, and you plant your stuff and
(07:04):
by the time your plants are growing, well, it's it's
doing the the nutrient exchange, which which it does. It
provides poor space in the soil for microorganisms and water.
And it also is a you know, cat ion exchange element,
(07:26):
so it has a negative charge. The nutrients have a
positive charge. They attract and they become available to the
plant through the charcoal.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh how great is that?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And it's a it's an amazing product, a locally produced
product and something that does so well. And we talk
about gameoftrees dot com. You can learn more. You can
also order online as well. Great day to get on
that calendar with hams Arborcare the website Hamsarborcare dot com.
That's Hams h a m ms arborcare dot com. They're
(07:57):
tell a number eight sixty sixty five nine six. That's
eight six six five nine six five three nine six
real quick too, Kevin. I just had mentioned earlier we've
had some cooler nights. I know, obviously the trees are
are that are folly eating. I don't know if that's
the right word for it, but we're getting leaves and
all that stuff. I looked out in the backyard the
other day and it was getting pretty thick. They hold
(08:17):
up pretty well against against these these cooler, cooler temperatures.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Now, yeah, you know the threshold is generally twenty eight degrees. Okay,
you know, because you have you have sugars and different
elements that are in the water, so it's not pure
water in there, so it doesn't freeze. Right at thirty
two degrees, I noticed our you know, apple flowers stayed alive,
you know, so but yeah, we can't. It is possible
(08:45):
to get a flower freeze, you know, and then you
don't have any fruit. Sure, but twenty eight degrees is
generally the threshold.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And I'm looking at the forecast. We should be u
we should be good for the days to come. And
talking about being good for days to come, what about
being good for years to come. It's a great day
to give him a call at Hams Arborcare. Make sure
that that tree, and again we're about to get into
the tree appreciation months of the year. There is nothing
that keeps your house cooler, more comfortable, in your backyard
cooler and comfortable, and also makes just things so much
more beautiful than a tree. Give him a call at
