New soil decompaction technology that facilitates the infusion of granules, liquid fertilizers, water reservoirs, water, and air.
Soil compaction is a widespread problem that affects the health of various ecosystems and can have negative impacts on plant growth and overall soil health. Previously the best tool to combat this issue was the Airspade, however a potent new proprietary technology from Germany brings a whole slew of new opportunities to tackle this problem.
Trees and shrubs get their sustenance from the area surrounding their roots, known as the rhizosphere. Their roots absorb water and nutrients through their finely meshed structures, and even their “breathing” is done through capillaries in the soil. However, this natural cycle can be disrupted by compacted soil, leading to a decline in vitality and the formation of deadwood.
The VOGT Geo Injector can remedy this by using compressed air to loosen the soil through a punctual aeration process. The injection tube applies adjustable pressure ranging from 5 to 8 bar (72-116 psi) and creates free spaces for soil additives – Allowing the user to both decompact the soil and inject bespoke nutrient solutions in one application!
The pressure regulation minimizes damage to fine roots, and if any damage does occur, the aeration and immune system strengthening has a positive impact, causing fine roots to regrow quickly.
This device is useful for residential, private, commercial or large scale council tasks and is recommended by our plant health team! If you would like to know more or want to see a demonstration reach out and we would be happy to help.
