Deep liquid root fertilization is a common method used to compost and enrich trees. It is a controlled process of fertilization in that the fertilizer treatments are directly injected into the tree\u2019s root system for an expedited effect, which further supports and assists in the tree\u2019s initial development. Deep root fertilization should be performed in the early spring or fall for best results.<\/p>\n

For large-scale or commercial projects, high-powered tree service equipment is required to perform deep root fertilization properly. For residential tree fertilizing jobs, a professional arborist will use tools like \u201csoil needles\u201d or deep root feeders. For personal projects, it is possible to provide deep root fertilizer treatments to your landscaping trees without the help of a professional service. <\/p>\n

Getting Started:<\/font><\/h1>\n

❦<\/strong><\/font> Use your drain spade to dig narrow holes around the base of your tree. You have the option of using a power auger here if you like, but a drain spade should work well. Make the holes 2 to 3 feet apart, but 6 to 12 feet from the actual base of the trunk. Each hole should be between 8 to 12 feet deep.<\/p>\n

❦<\/strong><\/font> Locate the tree\u2019s drip line. Create an additional outer ring of holes along the perimeter of the tree\u2019s drip line. Be sure to retain all soil for re-filling purposes.<\/p>\n

❦<\/strong><\/font> Choose your liquid fertilizer. Look for a 10-10-10 combination product that contains mycorrhiza<\/em>. This will reduce your trees susceptibility to soil pollutants and promote a strong root system at once. You will need a \u00bd gallon of liquid fertilizer for every hole. <\/p>\n

❦<\/strong><\/font> Pour a \u00bd gallon of liquid fertilizer directly into each hole that you\u2019ve dug around your tree. Wait for the liquid to fully absorb in every hole, and then refill each one with the soil you\u2019ve saved. Avoid combining fertilizers since this can actually have a damaging effect on your trees.<\/p>\n
