Deep Root Injection

What is Deep Root Injection? It is a process to nourish trees and shrubs to ensure that they can thrive. It is a fertilization approach that can help them resist contracting diseases. However, unlike traditional top-down fertilization strategies, it doesn’t leave your lawn destroyed, so that’s a plus! So basically, the process is where you need to stick a pipe down into the soil for about 8 to 12 inches deep. While under pressure, squirt fertilizer into the ground, which will then be absorbed by the roots. The theory behind this process is that the tree roots are deep underground, therefore, the fertilizer should also need to be put even deeper in the ground for the roots to be able to soak up all of it.

However, the treatment is not always necessary, especially when you have healthy soil. So, how can you know whether your plants really need the treatment? Well, one thing is for sure, if your tree is growing in very compacted soil, then it most definitely needs the treatment. Why? Because it is less likely for the nutrients and water to penetrate the soil to reach the root zone. This scenario can be seen with standard lawn fertilizers and as a result, nutrients are lost to competing grassroots. Now, you may think, what is the big deal if nutrients can’t reach the roots? Well, the leaves and branches of your tree will show signs of either growth stress or severe root damage. These damaged plants can be patched up in no time. They would just need a little tender loving care. It’s nothing deep root feeding can fix! What’s more, is that this treatment or fertilization approach can help struggling trees to replenish depleted soil. Did I mention? It also helps to aerate the root system! How cool is that?!
