How to Keep Your Trees Healthy

Hi, folks. My name is Mike Serant. I’m the massive formula and manufacturer of Mike Life Organic Fertilizers. And we’re going to talk a little bit about tree healthcare. Trees are the most important plant on your property, right? So above all, we want to take great care of our trees. The value and what they give us is just incredible. Let’s take a look at this backyard. We’ve got multiple trees. One is going to be in the center. And then we’re going to have trees on the outside borders. And I’m going to bring up something that’s very, very important.

The roots of the tree don’t stop at the canopy. They’ll go out two to three times the size of the canopy. That means that all these ornamental plants, all these tree roots are growing all throughout the yard. So if you really want great trees, just take care of your property as one gigantic important ecosystem. And the main thing to do is to never, ever put out a weed and feed fertilizer. It’s actually a pesticide on a cheap junk food fertilizer carrier. And the bags will even say, don’t put around trees and ornamentals. Well, since your ridge grow all throughout the yard, every time you fertilize your yard with a herbicide, the trees are getting that herbicide and it causes major damage and problems.

So the best thing to do to take care of your trees is going to be two things, right? Let’s look at your lawn care. You’re going to treat your lawn care with MicroLife green 6-2-4. And this is an incredible product, so well-made, 72 different strains and species of beneficial microorganisms, over 90 minerals and elements, very complete fertilizer. So you put that all over your entire yard and your tree roots will pick it up where you put it in the yard.

The second thing to do to have great success is to add carbon. The easiest way to add carbon is MicroLife Humates Plus Concentrated Compost in a Bag. This will do so much to improve your clay soils. If you want your clay soils to break up and get friable and have greater tilth and better, greater root growth and water conservation, add Microlife Humates Plus. So you can’t make a mistake. There is no burning. You can over apply five, 10, 15 times. Don’t worry, nothing’s ever going to burn. Everything is safe. You can let your dogs, your kids come out. The moment you get through spreading it, they can roll around it. You can roll around it. It is completely safe and always very effective.
