TERRAVENT The answer really does lie in the soil!

Do your most Valuable assets suffer from
SOIL COMPACTION OR SATURATION DUE TO FLOODING?

TERRAVENT can provide a unique solution that is environmentally clean, controllable, easily transportable, and virtually silent.

Soil Compaction arises from many causes, such as heavy pedestrian or vehicle access, drought and flooding, which are all too familiar on golf courses, construction sites, public areas and many more locations. It is particularly difficult to deal with compaction in confined areas, on uneven or sloping ground, planted or wooded sites, or places that are prone to flooding.

Soil Compaction is the largest single killer of Britain's trees, shrubs and turf. Why?

Soil Compaction prevents oxygen, moisture and essential nutrients from reaching the root system of trees, shrubs and turf, which leads inevitably to the lack of mycorrhizal fungi - essential to the survival and well being of many plant species. This fungus has been with us since prehistoric times, but research has only recently shown how it forms a symbiotic relationship with root systems. This partnership provides the fungi with carbohydrates, and in return the roots receive vital nutrients that they cannot process for themselves. There are twelve species of this essential fungus, available in a range of solutions to tailor the benefit to your individual needs.

Soil Compaction has long been known to cause serious damage, but until now the machines available were truly only suitable for large areas, and in many cases they only deal with the aeration of the soil.

The real answer lies in soil aeration PLUS bio-nutrient feeding with mycorrhizal fungi, and for maximum benefit, top with quality mulch.

TERRAVENT is a hand-operated probe that is powerful enough to decompact and aerate the toughest areas of compaction. Even hard packed paths or places of access can be remedied. It is easily transportable to sites of difficult access, being trailer mounted with a 100 plus multi-feed hose. This machine definitely reaches the parts others cannot access! !

But that is not all. Whilst the decompaction is being carried out, the soil can be given a simultaneous liquid injection of a bio-nutrient feed to boost the dwindling mycorrhizal fungi or even, in areas of severe damage, a liquid solution of the mycorrhizal spores.

TERRAVENT is driven by non-polluting Nitrogen gas and is near silent in operation. Even areas dedicated to wildlife or leisure activities will not be disturbed. Sensitive areas such as lawns can now be treated because of the accuracy of the hand- held interchangeable probes, with multiple vents along the shaft to provide a unique treatment profile from surface to more than lm deep, if required.
Terravent does not introduce any impurities into the soil during its operational process, i.e. gaseous cracked oils produced in the compression process employed in most compressor systems used by other soil aerators.

But don't just take our word for it - the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew have had extensive field trails with the system and have proved its effectiveness over four years in Kew Gardens!

At Eastwood Tree Services Ltd we offer a service which combines expertise and experience with pro-active leading-edge technology.
