Plants need the right food to grow strong and maintain their wellbeing from one season to the next. Deep root feeding is a unique style of fertilization designed to incorporate valuable nutrients and live microorganisms into the soil so they can be easily absorbed by shrubs and trees. Find out why this technique is necessary and how you can use it to create a more beautiful garden.

Why Is Deep Root Feeding Necessary?

Smaller plants, flowers, and grasses have relatively shallow roots that don’t grow far below the earth’s surface, while shrubs and trees can penetrate more deeply where it’s harder to obtain nutrients from surface fertilizers. When plants are malnourished, growth is inhibited, and they don’t flower as profusely. Fertilization encourages healthy development and protects against pests. Deep root feeding can save you money by mitigating the need to replace dead greenery.

How Is the Fertilization Process Done?

The first step in effective deep root feeding is to develop a liquid formula tailored to your soil’s specific needs. For example, if the earth is too acidic, you should add more alkaline properties. To provide nutrients, this solution is injected into the soil surrounding larger plants. A lawn care professional can determine what kind of mixture your trees and shrubs need based on a soil test. With an annual application, they’ll help you create a beautiful garden that stands the test of time.
