Not sure if this is related, just learned about structural soil. From Wikipedia: "Structural Soil is a medium that can be compacted to pavement design and installation requirements while permitting root growth. It is a mixture of gap-graded gravels, clay loam, and a hydrogel stabilizing agent to keep the mixture from separating. It provides an integrated, root penetrable, high strength pavement system that shifts design away from individual tree pits." In short, it's used to plant street trees.
For the record here in oregon food for lane county more than tripled its annual yield at the community gardens instantly by implementing compost tea under the guidance of mary fix of rainsong winery in cheshire.
Mulch ring is not a good idea since first it’s only temporary and folks forget to flatten it out. And second suffocated Roots from below inevitably grow up into above ground Circle mound. Remember, mulching flat is where it’s at.
Wow. Good info. I have a question. I planted 2 rows of blueberries 8 in each row in a straight line. This year I laid down 2 wide strips of black plastic on each side of the blueberries because I was tires of mowing and weed eating around that area. This year they didn't produce blueberries. Could I have killed the fungal/bacteria system that cut off nutrients to the blueberries? I did fertilize and they grew exceptionally well with over 2 ft of growth just no berries. I had flowers and bees and different varieties but no fruit. Any idea??
One technique for protecting the roots of valuable trees is to put down landscaping cloth and then putting a thick layer of material. There may be sub-soil coming out of an excavation, there may be gravel needed at the end of the project, maybe wood chips from the city....
This is an amazing presentation. I'm not sure why this information is not more commonly talked about.
Thank you for this presentation!
Wildly educational & informative. THANKS, a lot. Greetings from Wisconsin.

Landscaping cloth is garbage.
Tuberous ( roots) (asparagus and sweet potato) can be for vegative propagition
Cardboard boxes are effective too and can create a natural edge
Damnit Muricans. Proper units would be nice. Very interesting though.
Putting rocks on ur soil is like putting a home for ur worms.
