air spade information

[Lee Winger]

So you dont agree with ted greens bucket of worms then? How about the worry of disease from the mulch?

 

If the ground is compacted the worms won't want to live there, too much hard work compacted clay for a little worm, much better accomodation elswhere..

 

Wood decaying fungal spores can be found 2 miles up in the atmosphere, they are in the air , on our clothes, on the tyres of vehicles, wood decaying fungi are our prime concerns arboriculturally taking, so no I wouldn't worry about disease and mulch, i'd be more concerened about your compaction problem, ie poor drainage, lack of moisture penetration, lack of oxygen etc etc ....
