Phytophthora in Yews has been quite a big hit on the sitemeter.
Ground advice at Chelsea

Forest Research Station, Roslin, Midlothian, Friday 19th August, 2011

The Terralift machine will be demonstrated at the Forest Research Station, Roslin, Midlothian, EH25 9SY on Friday 19th August, 2011.

Terrain Aeration are the only operators of this deep aeration machine which was designed to aerate around tree roots. By injecting air one-metre into the root zone increases the percentage of available oxygen uptake via the root system. Extra benefits mean that by decompacting the root zone helps root growth and rainfall intake. Once this work has taken place, natural rejuvenation of the soil structure takes place and it is highly unlikely that this type of treatment would be required again.

By aerating one-metre around the tree roots excess rainwater is allowed to percolate away from the root zone, eliminating anaerobic conditions as well as reducing the wet conditions favoured by the Phytophthora fungus.

Anyone in Scotland or Northern England who would like a demonstration or to book some work, please give us a call on 01449 673783 so we can treat your trees/gardens, golf greens, pitches etc en route in the weeks beginning the 15th or 22nd August.
