Tree Mulching & Fertilising Trees
Trees and shrubs are fertilised to promote healthy
tree growth. Before the fertiliser is applied Arbor Pride arborists
will take a leaf or soil analysis to ascertain the nutrient requirements
of the plant. A fertiliser can then be applied in the quantities
to achieve the correct nutrient availability. The fertiliser comes
in the form of biological or chemical products.
Once fertilised, the soil may then be mulched.
There are a variety of different mulch types to suit your soil
and personal preference. Mulch is beneficial for trees and shrubs
for the following reasons:
- Moisture retention
- Weed control
- Increased organic matter which will improve
soil structure and increase aeration and beneficial micro-organisms
- Aesthetic benefits
- Increased nutrient availability .
