Deep Root Injection Pros

Farmers understand this quite well. Your crops won’t do well with the initial fertilizer applied at the time of planting. For the best result, you will have to top-dress them. Topdressing is simply applying fertilizers at the base of the plants to supplement the soil nutrients. The same is true for your trees. The only difference is that in trees, the fertilizer is applied deep underground while in crops, it is placed at the base of the crops and gets absorbed by natural means. That is so because since most crops have their roots near the ground surface. Trees, on the other hand, have their roots penetrating deep into the ground.

You cannot depend on the natural means to efficiently take the nutrients spayed on the surface to get t the roots that are located several feet underground. For this reason, you will need Deep root injection or sometimes called deep root fertilization. It is an exercise that requires a tree professional who also understands how to determine the soil nutrients constituent. If you think your trees require artificial fertilization, contact the experts at El Cajon Tree Trimming and Stump Grinding.
