Soil & Tree Injection
Soil Injection
The soil injection technique involves injecting compressed air into the ground to create voids that can be filled with Geo Blend Biochar using our geo injection equipment. This process is carried out every square meter, subject to ground conditions, resulting in a network of cavities filled with nutrients and aiding percolation across the complete treated area.
Decompaction.
Over time, the ground can become densely compacted due to various factors such as heavy foot traffic, construction vehicles, or events, which can prevent natural water drainage. This issue is also in new build homes due to the construction process and the movement of heavy machinery. According to the National House Building Council (NHBC),
-
15% of homeowners are dissatisfied with water accumulation and flooding in their gardens.
-
20% have reported poor drainage
-
30% have experienced property damage.
Effects of Compacted Soils
Compacted soils in tree rooting areas can lead to the following:
-
Low soil moisture due to rain water not being able to be absorbed.
-
Fibrous roots unable to spread.
-
Depletion of nutrients in soil.
Compacted soil can be detrimental to a trees health.

What is Geo Blend?
Carbon Gold Geo Blend was specially formulated to work with our equipment. This blend has a unique honeycomb structure that helps with drainage and moisture retention. It is enriched with biochar, which is known to sequester carbon and improve soil. This environmentally friendly product can sequester 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for 1 tonne biochar used.
