SOIL SAMPLING

​

 Happy Roots and Shoots goal is to help plants and trees by seeing what is in the soil for the tree or plant to eat.  When doing soil testing in California and Nevada I use UNIBEST labs for this work.  Why use UNIBEST TEST KITS?  A standard soil sample is important but it can't tell me or the farmer what is bio available in the soil, Unibest tells me exactly what is needed.  I use an auger to remove soil from the root zone just past the drip line of a tree.  This will allow me to see what the new roots are trying to uptake for food.  

​

Food for your trees or plants 

 The next step is to develop a tank mix that will provide nutrients to help the tree or plant to make a full recovery.  The soil sample is the most important part of the recovery process.  Why - The UNIBEST soil sampling kit will tell me what minerals are bio available to the plant or tree, or ready for the plant to eat. I have used the UNIBEST kits in California and Nevada to assist large growers and in your back yard.

​

Proprietary Nutrient Mix

​

 The tank mix is the fertilizer and other nutrients shown to be low in the soil are mixed prior to being injected into the ground around the trees or plants.  Out tree and ranch service also provides foliar applications for larger ranch or properties with larger grounds.

​

Deep Root Injection

​

 Deep root injection allows me to inject this custom proprietary mix an ionic form of copper / zinc micro nutrient directly into the root zone of the tree or plant.  This additional benefit is with the mix under 65 psi pressure the soil is also being broken up and allows the roots a softer ground to grow into.  This system of deep root injection allows the fertilizer and other nutrients to be placed at the critical area to most help the tree or plant start to recover.

 This picture is showing new growth after a late fall custom blended nutrient injection treatment.  The spring growth is under my fingers, the summer growth is the lighter growth on the tip.

 Nevada in and around the lower Carson Valley I am seeing many trees and plants having water problems.  Yes too much water, the clay soil is not draining.  This problem causes stress on trees and other plants.  I also have  other ionic form of micro nutrient products that is working great in fields of Alfalfa, Onions, Almonds and other trees.  THESE PRODUCTS WILL OPEN UP THE CLAY SOIL AND ALLOW THE WATER TO DRAIN.

 TREE   RECOVERY

 The most important part of this process is the 

SOIL CONDITION

 TREE   RESTORATION

 The restoration of a sick or stressed tree is accomplished by 

 SOIL   AMENDMENTS

​

 TREE   NUTRIENTS

​

 Nutrients in the soil or they are lacking in the soil is why we use a proprietary blend or custom tank mix. BAM-FX AND Penny Newman nutrient package is a major part of my 

 SOIL   PROPRIETARY BLEND

​

 TREE   FERTILIZERS

 Most soils in the western states have a high salt content and most fertilizers are a salt base fertilizer. 

so by using a low salt base like GOLD'n GRO Fertilizer company based out of Reno Nevada your plants win

HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT MY TREES AND PLANTS HAVE TO EAT?

This is how the process works to find out what is in the soil and what is needed to repair the soil.

​

When I come to see you I will use an auger designed for taking soil samples at about 6 inches to 12 inches.  Then I will do a Ph / Eh test on the soil using my test meters.  When I have the sample I will put it into a special shipper and send into UNIBEST labs.   After about one week I will receive an Email with your information so I can print it out to show you the results.  I will call you the customer and set up a time to visit and show you the results.  I offer this UNIBEST soil testing service in California along with Nevada.

​

AT THIS TIME WE WILL DECIDE TO DO A TREATMENT OR NOT.
