How to feed plums in the fall for a bountiful harvest next year: a note for summer residents
Autumn is not only a time for collecting the remains of the harvest.
This is also a period when you can make a significant contribution to increasing future crop yields.
Yes, the amount of fruit that will be harvested next year depends, among other things, on the work carried out at the end of the current gardening season.
An example is the plum tree. If you feed this plant correctly before the onset of winter, then the harvest will be abundant in the future.
Autumn feeding for plum
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh recommends using two fertilizers at once.
So, after the harvest is complete, a mixture containing both phosphorus and potassium should be added to the soil.
To prepare the fertilizer, you need to use superphosphate and potassium sulfate. For 3 tablespoons of the first component, there should be two tablespoons of the second ingredient.
If you feed the plum tree in this way before the onset of frost, three positive results will be achieved at once.
Firstly, the depleted soil will be restored. Secondly, the plant will be prepared for difficult weather conditions. Thirdly, the chances for a bountiful harvest next year will be maximal.
