Vertical Mulching

Trees in suburban areas versus in the wild thrive and grow in completely different ways. Trees that are in the wild have a better time getting the nutrients they need due to “leaf drop.” Leaves that drop around them provide the necessary soil and mulch in order to survive and grow. Trees that you find in residential areas have a lot harder time. Becuase we remove leaves that have fallen, trees don’t get their required nutrients. A lot of this has to do with keeping our grass healthy, as leaves can make it hard for grass to get oxygen. Grass that is found in suburban areas takes a lot of the tree’s nutrients, which can stress a tree out. Without getting the proper nutrients the lifespan and growth of a tree can decline. The best way to combat this is with vertical mulching.

Vertical mulching is when tools create several holes in the soil by the root area. This allows the necessary nutrients, as well as water and oxygen to be absorbed in the soil. Not only that It can reduce soil compaction and can reduce damage from overwatering.
