There is still a whole month left before the beginning of the calendar spring, but summer residents should already think about what fertilizers they will apply at the beginning of the new season.
First of all, you need to decide how to feed garden crops that are currently in “hibernation”.
At the beginning of spring, these plants will need serious "help". Especially apple trees, which will clearly lack nitrogen and potassium.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh named a super-remedy that will not only help the tree "wake up" after a difficult winter, but will also seriously increase the chances of forming a huge number of tasty and sweet apples.
How to feed an apple tree in spring
As mentioned above, in the first weeks of March the tree will need nitrogen and potassium components.
Organic fertilizer such as cow manure will help to replenish their deficiency.
Based on this remedy, you need to prepare an infusion: a kilo of mullein per bucket of water.
This mixture should be left "alone" for 7 days. The result will be a liquid that should be poured into a hole dug near the fruit tree.
If a summer resident wants to focus not on “organic” but on mineral fertilizers, then he can prepare a product consisting of superphosphate, potassium sulfate and urea.
Earlier, summer residents were told how to improve the fruit set of apple trees in unfavorable weather conditions.
