A permanent solution for lifelong healthy trees and roots is being introduced by Martin Lishman at The Landscape Show. Rootwell is an innovative device that provides a vertical channel for water, fertilizers and soil amendments to reach deeper soil horizons, directly irrigating and aerating the critical root zone. This helps to eliminate wasteful run-off and can reduce water application by up to 30%.

Benefits experienced by growers using Rootwell include less soil compaction, improved root development and increased biomass growth. An added advantage is that direct watering to the roots allows any excess water to quickly evaporate, reducing the risk of suffocation.

The tube’s innovative air convection cap enables gases to exchange and introduces oxygen into the Rootwell chamber. Cooling air is heavier and denser than warming air so the cooling oxygen falls to the lowest available point, down the central tube of the convection cap and releases the warming air, creating active oxygen and gas exchange in the Rootwell chamber.

Martin Lishman will also be exhibiting the Growing Solutions Compost Tea Systems. Compost tea use in the landscaping industry is increasing at a fast rate. A wide range of benefits are realised with the addition of compost tea to existing plantings as well as new landscaping projects.

Users have experienced improved soil and plant health, less plant disease and improved root growth and penetration. One commercial tree grower has reported a 40% reduction in fertiliser requirement where compost tea is used.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to find out more about the Martin Lishman Micro-Spray self-propelled pedestrian sprayer. Tanks are available in 50, 70 and 120 litre sizes to suit landscape and estate maintenance work. With many pedestrian sprayers now in use across several sectors including professional turf care, university and schools grounds maintenance, estate maintenance and sports fields the Micro-Spray is proving to be a real success within the landscape and turf care sector.
