Deep Root Fertilization

Tree fertilization

What is Deep Root Fertilization?

  Deep Root Fertilizing is an effective method that involves injecting a balanced mixture of minerals and nutrients directly into the soil surrounding the root systems of your trees, enhancing nutrient absorption. For most trees, this process requires applying the fertilizer just below the surface of the soil. However, larger trees necessitate a slightly more intricate technique. The predominant method for injecting these fertilizers is through a specialized tool known as a "soil needle." This soil needle allows the liquid fertilizer solution to be pumped deep into the soil, ensuring optimal nourishment for tree growth.

Why Do Trees Need to Be Deep Root Fertilized

  Trees rely on their root systems to obtain nutrients and minerals from the soil. If there are soil deficiencies, it is challenging for trees to get the sustenance they require for healthy growth.  As organic material is broken down over time with the help of micro-organisms, essential nutrients and minerals are added back into the soil for plant roots to absorb. In many metropolitan areas, the essential organic matter needed to feed the trees – things like leaves, grass clippings, and garden waste – are cleaned up and taken away…which means essential nutrients are also being taken away. With the help of deep root fertilization, those vital nutrients and minerals are supplemented to support tree growth.
