Vertical mulching

Vertical mulching is one of the most effective ways to treat stressed trees and shrubs. The aeration and soil treatment create an environment that mimics nature and allows for greater nutrient uptake, increased root growth and the potential regeneration of a damaged root system. We like to follow up our Vertical mulching jobs with compost tea and humate applications to further help the root system repair and provide for itself.

Some of the reasons to Vertical Mulch are as follows

  • To alleviate soil compaction and allow air to flow more easily to the roots
  • To add organic rich compost to poor soil.
  • To expand the root system by the addition of Mychorizae.
  • To allow faster percolation of water in wet areas by changing soil structure and aerating.

Some of the benefits are :

  • Reduced compaction
  • Increased drainage
  • Increased oxygen to the root system
  • Introduction of organic mater to existing soil
  • Increased soil organisms Increased water retention

Live Vegetative Barriers

Subabul and Glyricidia when used as live vegetative barriers on contour key lines not only serve as effective mulch when cut and spread on ground surface but also supply nitrogen to the extent of 25 to 30 kg per ha, besides improving soil moisture status.
