Soil Biology

Healthy lawns, shrubs and trees are dependent on their symbiotic relationship with Soil Biology (also called the Soil Food Web).

Mycorrhizal Fungi links up with roots and receives excess carbohydrates from the plant. Then within 0.2 of a second it passes nutrients to the root.

This clever fungi can expand the root systems by upto to 700 times.

Essentially the rest of the Soil Food Web exists in balance to create a healthy, fertile, well drained soil.

The lawn, shrubs and trees are healthier and more resilient.

In this association with Soil Biology the plant benefits again, because they defend the roots (in which they have so much vested) from attack.

We at Ruskins can drench your lawn, shrubs or trees with a bespoke Compost Tea that contains all of the good parts of the Soil Food Web apart from worms and insects (which will migrate to this improved soil).

You will see the benefit in a lawn within 3 weeks and with shrubs and trees a bit later.
