Tree Hugger
I was working excavation yesterday when the boss slipped the neighbor my card. He approached me today with a competitors contract that he had set up this year already. He is thinking of me for next year.
The company is treating an absolutely gorgeous Elm tree about 43" DBH along the water line. They are currently using "Dutch Trig" on this tree. (never heard of it, google found the site tho)
They are also soil drenching a Birch, and liquid injecting fert. in the soil for a cedar, spruce, weeping cherry, and also the Elm.
What can you guys suggest, and/or what are you using for your DED treatments?
Is there any home brew type thing to inject fert. without the expensive equip.? Currently I employ the drill hole fill with correct amount of granular. What do you do?
I don't see the point in this company using soil injection on this site tho. We dug down 11' across the street and I saw the soil layers. About 6" of top soil, then 4+/- gravel sand mix, then full sand. I can't see the fert doing much sticking around in the stuff.
Here's an aerial pic of the Elm, this tree/place is awesome.
I am thinking I'd like to get into this kinda stuff more. Being a small business I can go out myself and get these things done solo. It's hard to find good help these days. I am also considering it because 2 companies want to hire me to do their applications for them because of my licensing.
Help me out!
