Vertical Mulching and Soil Aeration Toronto

What Are the Benefits of Vertical Mulching?

• Soil Aeration

  One of the greatest benefits of vertical mulching is that it promotes soil aeration. When soil is aerated, this means the earth is more exposed to air and water. Trees need both of these to remain healthy, and soil aeration allows both to more easily penetrate the earth and nourish the roots.

• Soil Fertilization

  In addition to more water and air, vertical mulching also provides trees with food since the mulch acts as a fertilizer. Fertilization is another necessity for strong and healthy trees as the trees require these invaluable nutrients.

• Soil Decompaction

  You may have heard that soil compaction can be hazardous to a trees health. If soil is too compact, a tree’s growth can be stunted because it is too difficult for roots to grow and it becomes harder for the tree to gather resources. Vertical mulching somewhat alleviates this problem.

• Root Inoculation

  Vertical mulching also helps to protect those all-too-vulnerable roots from disease and bacteria. These organisms can destroy a tree at its very energy source and often need to be fended off for a tree to live out its entire natural life cycle.
