Now you have a panoramic view of soil importance to favour the survival and growth of urban trees. It is not necessary to be a professional to effectively contribute to maintaining healthy trees or shrubs in your city. Think about your own garden, terrace, or even balcony! You, as a homeowner, can have a positive impact in your urban context.

You can start checking and if necessary improve the soil quality of your “personal” green area. How to do so?
