HEALTHY SOIL MEANS HEALTHY TREES

Trees, and in particular, their finely meshed roots, take life from the complex surrounding soils which influence their healthy growth, respiration, water uptake and nutrient exchange, with the ultimate composite medium balancing out at 50% water and 50% air. If the land becomes overly compacted due to livestock, footfall, vehicles, asphalted surfaces in urban areas, and extremes of weather, i.e. flooding and drought, finer root capillaries cannot penetrate the earth causing a disruption in gas exchange and water uptake resulting in a loss of canopy vitality and potentially, tree death.

What can we do?


Decompaction by soil aeration, with an additional dose of organic *Carbon Gold Bio Char, is the straightforward solution providing an antidote to the physically compressed restraints of compacted soils, and therefore, revitalising tree health. Our qualified team provide this service using the Vogt Geo Injector tool to deliver the following benefits:

·         Decompact surrounding compressed soils

·         Improve soil nutrients and gaseous exchange capabilities

·         Improve water efficiency

·         Improve root health by stabilising the soil structure

·         Amend water-logged or parched soils

·         Restore the natural biome of the soil

·         Reduce potential disease attack

How does it work?

·         Compacted soils are loosened by a tube which administers a pulse of compressed air to create space for soil additives

·         Penetration of the soil by the wand is carried out towards the exterior rooting areas where the finer capillaries exist, avoiding larger structural roots, to around 50cm in depth, possibly more for sandy soils

·         Organic Bio Char is skilfully administered via the wand, turning during the process, to supply the prescriptive granulate, or liquid biostuimulants, in the desired rooting locations.

·         Holes created by the Geo Injector are then back-filled with the correct sharp sand and topsoil mixture for the root capillaries to exploit the revitalised ground

NB *Carbon Gold Bio Char is sustainably sourced and created by using untreated woody biomass, so ecologically friendly
