Interesing,
this week I have to work with airspade, we rent a 4500lt compressor that we'll move in three different places, so we concentrate the work in three days, to share better the cost of hiring.
An old and fantastic beech pendula to decompact and oxygenate the root system, maybe we'll add also some mycorizze to reactivate the soil, then
a cedar deodara that had a lightning struck last winter, I gave mycorizze to the soil, and I treat the big wound with a special formula: mix of clay, propolis, equisetum and bario salt, it's like an experimental treatment.. they use it in organic farming with fruit trees. in addiction using airspade we will help the tree with new oxygen on the soil for more energy and health.

Others are some oak very depressed after an ice storm some years ago, locate on top of little hill with rock under few ground, around these there is grass and turf..moss, here I don't know how it will work the airspade, maybe I have to remove the grass\ground slice(?) and replace it after.. or maybe also possible other ways of doing it... like making only some rays around the tree..
Why to use vertical mulching, i mean.. what is it for?
