Healthy Soils Make Healthy Trees
Healthy soils make healthy trees.
It's about the landscape you don't see. The composition of soils is perhaps the greatest factor in tree health. Comparing urban soils with a forested site will give you a quick idea of why many trees are stressed. Fallen logs, an abundance of "duff," and low growing plants are all contributing to the healthy soils found in nature. Can we mimic this in our own yards? Sure!
- Mulch your landscape beds
