Installing a field tuner in your town is a no lose proposition. The field tuner will energize the soil and will energize your trees and plants. Your plants and trees will be healthier and look better than ever before. Injecting biogenesis into the root structure of your ash trees will break down the nutrients in the soil so they can be absorbed more easily by the ash tree. The goal is healthy trees, if the ash borer beetle does not recognize a healthy ash tree as a home or food source it will go elsewhere. How much does this cost? The field tuner can be as little as $6500 for an area less than 4000 acres or $25,000 per 36 square miles. Biogenesis injections per ash tree could be $16-$32 the first year for residents. Illinois received $7.6 million from the USDA. The USDA has spent over $100 million. Where has all the money gone?

The field tuner is not for a private home. Most towns north of Chicago have thousands of ash trees at risk. How many ash trees are in the Chicago Forest Preserves, Morton Arb, Botanic Gardens, your favorite golf course or country club? Are there any guarantees, no? The alternative is cutting down all the ash trees within 1/2 mile of an infected ash tree. I see that as a problem, not a solution.
