According to summer residents who have dedicated more than one year of their lives to their apple orchard, the blossoming of the trees is a fascinating sight, but it does not mean that there is no need to take care of the apple trees during this period.
Because apple trees grow in the same place for decades, the soil becomes poor.
Under such conditions, one cannot count on a rich harvest.
For this reason, it is worth starting to apply fertilizers as early as April.
To do this, you should dig a furrow around the perimeter of the crown and fill the resulting groove with 2 buckets of compost (for an adult tree).
In May, when flowering begins, it is necessary to use a solution prepared on the basis of wood ash.
Dilute a glass of ash in 10 liters of water and stir, and when the sediment sinks to the bottom, add 1 glass of 9% vinegar.
After some time, when the mixture has settled, pour 2 buckets of this solution into the grooves under each tree on the damp soil.
