Not all summer residents share the belief that apple trees need fertilizing in the last month of summer.
However, experienced gardeners believe that this is a very useful practice.
Trees become healthier, stronger and more powerful. This can also have a positive effect on the harvest itself, clarifies Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
What is the best way to "treat" trees in August?
It is best to pay attention to natural products, as they are absorbed much better. It is recommended to use organic compositions.
These include prepared manure and mullein, which should be well rotted by the time they are added to the soil. You can also pay attention to the usual ash.
How to apply fertilizers correctly?
First, it is worth determining the age of the apple. If the tree is young (not yet fifteen years old), then you need to spend ten liters of the selected fertilizer. For more "old" trees, we increase the amount of feeding by two times.
If the tree is young, then we make an indent of forty centimeters. If the apple tree is older than seven years, then the distance from the roots should be at least a meter.
We introduce the composition into the selected area of the tree trunk circle and hide it under mulch. The effect will be noticeable immediately.
