Goroots have been operating the Terravent machine since its invention we have an unparalleled experience over a wide variety of different sites From ancient trees though construction sites to woodlands.

For over 10 years we have used and developed the Terravent so that we are confident that we are able to work on any site. With our experience we can offer fixed lump sum prices.

The Terravent was developed by Pinnacle Concepts in conjunction with Kew Gardens and Myerscough College

The brief was to produce a hand held machine that would both decompact soils and inject beneficial mychorrizal fungi spores in one operation.

After many years development the Terravent was produced combining High Pressure Nitrogen gas for the decompaction blast and a low volume pump to inject the solution of Mychorizial Fungi and Bio stimulants.

How does the Terravent work?

o        Nitrogen gas is introduced into the small tank in the Terravent head, up to 60bar (900psi).

o        Nitrogen gas is then dumped via a series of cross drilled holes in the spike causing the soil to be loosened

o        Then a measured amount of a pre mixed mychorrizal fungi solution can pumped down the same spike.

o        Finally the solution is given a smaller blast to distribute the liquid evenly.

o        The whole process is then repeated again at 1-1.5m centres.

o        For trees the area treated is from the trunk to the drip line.

The Terravent alleviates compacted soils allowing plant and tree's roots to breathe and grow as they should. The Inoculation with Mychorrizial Fungi products helps recreate the sub soil conditions that prevailed when the trees were healthy.

On Lawns, Flowerbeds and waterlogged soils the Terravent creates voids so that any water can flow into these new channels and drain away.
