Vertical Mulching

Vertical Mulching is the process of making vertical trenches, radially from the base of the tree, like spokes on a wheel, and back-filled with loose dirt or soil amendments. This is necessary when soil compaction over the root zone has occurred due to heavy equipment or construction material storage. The compromised roots are then better able to grow and move freely into these spaces, for improved gas and moisture exchange. This is as essential for trees as it is for any other living organism. Vertical mulching will also improve surface water penetration to the root area and promote the formation of fine feeder roots.
