Soil Conditioners: These improve soil structure, nutrient availability, and microbial activity. Examples include organic matter (compost, manure), mulch, gypsum (for heavy clay), lime (for acidity), and lightweight materials like vermiculite or perlite.
Soil Maintenance Practices: These preserve soil quality and include soil testing, proper irrigation, crop rotation, erosion control, weed control, nutrient management, and organic pest and disease management.
Implementing soil conditioners and maintenance practices improves soil health, leading to healthier plants. Austreelia Tree Consulting can provide professional guidance on suitable practices for specific regions and soil types. Call Austreelia Tree Consulting today to discus your tree care needs.
