I would like to remind people that with the bad weather we have been having over the last three years, pests and diseases are rampant and more and more often you hear of Phytophthora problems (water borne).

By using the Terralift machine to aerate beyond the root zone (one-metre) we can get the excess water to drain away and increase the oxygen percentage the roots can access. Injection of the dried seaweed on the tail end of the blast of compressed air expands and contracts with the moisture content in the soil, keeping the fractures and fissures open. Backfilling the probe holes with aggregate aids in the whole aeration process.

We have the machinery and we will travel to most of mainland Europe to assist turf and tree care professionals with the aeration of compacted soil on sports surfaces, including rugby and football pitches, golf courses, tennis courts and bowling greens.

We can also treat the root-zone areas of fruit orchards and vineyards to a depth of one metre by injecting compressed air under high pressure to break up soil pans or to relieve poor drainage.

The Met Office say that the UK is on course for a possible heatwave with a hot and dry summer saying that it will be "warmer than average temperatures and near or below-average rainfall."

The topic of climate change is constantly in the news as water becomes scarce. It is time for every gardener and lawn owner, groundsman or greenkeeper should start planning an alternative strategy than just pump unnecessary amounts of water into the ground.

We will be despatching a team into South Wales in the week beginning 4th May 2009.

If you have a need for our de-compaction service treating turf or tree roots with compressed air to a depth of one metre then please email us asap.

We are travelling out to County Waterford in the republic of Ireland and then on up to Northern Ireland in April.

If you are considering aeration on your sports pitches or golf course using compressed air and you would like to discuss what we can do then please get in touch.

If we can arrange further work around this time then the travelling costs will be shared and thus allow us to improve on the individual prices for each client.

Please telephone and ask for Lynda or drop us an email.

Phytophthora disease in Yew trees is becoming much more of a problem and worried gardeners', park managers and golf course managers have, until now, had little help when it comes to eradicating the disease.

Following on from the successful treatment of the famous Sissinghurst Yew Trees, we have launched a new service in time for Harrogate Week - we aim to get right at the root of the problem.
