Do you like big and sweet cherries? Do you like to feed the tree in spring?
The first fertilizer for a cherry orchard is traditionally applied in the spring.
Despite the abundance of compositions presented in modern stores for summer residents, many farmers still use ash the old-fashioned way.
For one tree you will need a liter jar filled with wood burning residue.
In addition, mineral fertilizers are also used.
To prepare an effective fertilizer, you will need to dilute 1 tablespoon of urea and 2 tablespoons of chloride-free potassium in a 10-liter bucket filled with water.
In this case, it is necessary to pour about 3-4 buckets of the resulting solution under each plant.
And again it’s ash’s turn – for the second time, the same amount of ash is usually used during the period of active formation of ovaries.
In mid-August, a favorable time comes for adding fertilizer prepared from 10 liters of water, 2 tablespoons of double superphosphate and 1 tablespoon of potassium. Pour 4 buckets under each tree and add ash again.
Finally, gardeners carry out the final fertilizing in the fall, adding several buckets of organic matter that is at hand.
