I have a white Spruce in the back of my yard. Nice tree about 35' tall that provides some shade on the west side of the house. About 3 or 4 years ago I rolled a junk 16.9 x 24 tire and rim back there to lean it against the tree out of the way. (See, it's tractor related) The tire got away from me, fell over and the tube burst letting most of the 55 gallons of calcium spill out on the roots of the Spruce. Within a few months the tree started dying and I figured I had killed it. It lost about 30% of it's needles. But now, it's still alive, does put new growth in the areas that didn't die off. I will be removing some other trees here in the yard next spring or summer to make room for a new garage. That would be the time to take out the Spruce if I'm going to. It will be much harder to take it down once the garage is up. I hate to lose it though. Is there anything I can do to help it along? I kick myself for damaging it but sometimes stuff just happens. Any advice - not for the dumb tire man but for the tree. Thanks

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
