Improving you soil will cut down in watering
Last week I was driving to Memorial Park for my morning run and I saw a new landscape job with a stressed tree under an umbrella to shade it. I thought that was a clever idea, so I pulled over to take a picture.
Houston Summer 2010
My mentor and associate,Dwight MacDonald also recommends for this tree and every tree you plant in Gulf Coast soil to use an auger, to bore 3 root reservoirs around the root ball that are 30″ deep. Then remove existing soil and fill the holes with ammonium sulphate 3Tbs to gallon every 30 days. He says its not organic but its inexpensive and better than anything you can get at the store for the price. If you are going for the orgainic approach I recommend filling the holes with Super Seaweed Liquid Concentrate.
Organic expert, Mike Serrant of San Jacinto Environmental recommends the following products for Summer Landscape Survival.
MicroLife Humate Plus Granular – Help your soils get the most of your rain and irrigation water. Easy to spread. Provides much needed Humates, Kelp, Sugars, Potassium, Minerals, and Bio-Inoculation including the all important Mycorrhizas.
Super Seaweed Liquid Concentrate -The goodness of Super Seaweed will enhance plant color, increase chlorophyll content, build stronger roots, increase plant development and vigor. Reduce heat and drought stress with Super Seaweed. Super Seaweed packs a huge punch with Plant Vitamins, Sugars, Growth Hormones, and needed Minerals.
Soil Moist – Incorporate Soil Moist into the soil to hold more moisture in the root zone. The Soil Moist crystals absorb and release water and create void space for additional oxygen. Soil Moist can reduce water needs by as much as 50%.
Thank you Mike!
