Harsh Site Plantings

 

Developed for use in replanting decommissioned logging roads but also used successfully in mining reclamation. The combination of controlled-release nutrients and biological materials that attract and hold nutrients in an organic form significantly increases survival and early growth on harsh sites with little or no organic matter.

 

High Elevation Planting

This 2-year-old Spruce seedling is located on a reclaimed mine site high up in the Canadian Rockies, an area characterized by some of the harshest growing conditions found anywhere on the planet. Despite the difficulties, because it is fertilized with a Bio-pak it is able to establish under these challenging circumstances.
