DEEP ROOT FERTILIZING

Deep Root Fertilizing of Trees and Shrubs

What is it?

Deep root fertilization is a highly regarded landscaping maintenance process where a premium quality nutrient solution is injected via a stainless steel soil probe 8-10 inches into the root zone of trees and shrubs. The solution is injected into the root zone under pressure which aerates the soils immediately around the wand providing water, high potency nutrients and much needed oxygen to the root system. The injection sites are placed two to three feet apart in a grid pattern under the canopy area of the tree or shrub.

What's in Our Fertilizer Solution

Agave Landscapes custom blends our own nutrient rich solution that has proven results in high alkaline desert soils. It contains sea plant derived micro nutrients, chelated iron, and a balanced ratio of high uptake water soluble nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It's a proven and trusted blend that will yield fantastic results on your property. Agave uses high cost organic materials and includes a wetting agent in our solution that causes the fertilizing product to spread uniformly and evenly coat the entire surface of the leaf when sprayed on, and the roots which gives an even deep green up. Few of our competitors go through this much trouble or expense, and our results are the proof of our best in class products and methods.

Why is This Method Better Than Soil Surface Fertilizing?

Applying granular fertilizer product to the soil around a tree or shrub presents a big problem: how will the nutrients reach the tree roots? We get no rain and have non-porous compacted clay soil. The pellets will sit there on the soil without any benefit to the plant. Our technique is the only reliable and sure way to feed plants at their roots. Here is the thing about roots, they are opportunistic and will develop where ever oxygen, nutrients, and moisture are present. An ongoing deep root fertilization program is going to improve the oxygen content, microbial activity, and nutrient levels within the soil, so that will lead to improved environmental conditions around and within the root zone.

How Often Should I Deep Root Feed My Trees
