Balancing Soil
Chemistry
Roots require everything the aboveground pert of the tree needs, except tor light, Get the air, nutrients and water nght. and you will have a healthy, low-maintenance, and sustainable landscape, without a lot ot additional, artificial intervention. This can be achieved by “IPM tor Soil*: balancing soil chemistry, adding mulch, and improving physical properties as needed. This is tar more likely to be successful than tust adding some of the popular organic products that offer shortcuts to plant health.
The advantage of fertilization by prescription - Soil Rx - is based on the famous Liebig's Law of the Minimum that says that as long as any nutrient is deficient, none of the others will have a positive effect. We can correct those deficiencies, so that all the nutrients are appropriately balanced.
What many people don't realize is that the key to fertilization - getting nutrients into the plant and not into the environment - depends on pH For example, the phosphorus already In the soil only become available when pH is between pH6 and 7 Much above or below that. I and phosphorus is far less available. Organic products that are applied without regard to plant needs are just as useless to the plant and may be as bad tor the environment as any other less natural treatments.
