Pneumatic Vertical Mulching and Fertilizing is an integral part of our system for treating and protecting ash trees from the Emerald Ash Borer.
Here is an excerpt from the Arborists’ Certification Study Guide explains what soil compaction is. And the best solution is Pneumatic Vertical Mulching.
“Compaction is one of the biggest problems in urban soils. Compaction is often caused by construction, foot or vehicular traffic, engineered soils to support roads or buildings, or other factors.
Compaction reduces total pore space and the proportion of macropores to micropores. Loams, silt loams, and other soils with a variety of particle sizes may be particularly vulnerable to compaction because small particles are pressed into large core spaces between particles.
Trees and soils are so ecologically independent that it is hard to imaging separating them from one another. Yet the processes involved with urban development disrupt this ecological balance, creating growing conditions that may range from unfavorable to antagonistic.
It has been said that the vast majority of tree decline situations can be attributed to an initial soil stress.
Trees are living systems driven by energy. They must obtain sufficient oxygen, water, essential elements and other components from the soil to meet their energy requirements.
Understanding soil is vital to arboriculture because soil is, quite literally, the foundation within which a tree grows.”
