At Almstead, we're proud to provide our clients with organic care for trees, shrubs and lawns that is scientifically based and really works. The principle of organic care lies in creating biologically active soil filled with the microorganisms that produce nutrients for plants by breaking down organic matter. There are millions of organisms living in healthy soils, but understanding the basics is fairly easy. To get a better idea of what has been dubbed "The Soil Foodweb" take a look at the Soil Biology Primer from Dr. Elaine R. Ingham, one of the leading researchers in the field. Fair warning: this site is a great introduction to organic care, but it doesn't shy away from science.
