We are preparing for the winter and take care of the crops next year
Autumn has come, and all the fruit trees and bushes in my garden otplodonosidi, let's prepare them for the winter, and take care of the harvest. And today I'll tell you how to properly feed the trees in autumn.
What fertilizing should be done?
Basically I spend the root feeding, as foliar autumn are not relevant - they need to occur in the spring and summer. All feeding introduce into the tree trunks of trees in a groove on the perimeter of the crown.
Some gardeners carry all feeding at the spring. However, to do this, I do not recommend. All the same, in a season of fruiting trees have spent all the strength they need the power to be restored before the onset of cold weather and the winter is better to move.
When to fertilize and how?
As a rule, I make fertilizer in September, towards the end. It is necessary to make both organic and minimal fertilizer. For organic humus can be used which are making digging close range.
Trees up to 8 years is enough 30 kg and older need about 50 kg of organic matter. For fertilizers, we take potassium and phosphorus, as they increase immunity of plants and it will help them through the winter. For apple and pear trees require 300 c superphosphate, 200 g of potassium sulphate and 30 g magnesium.
We pour fertilizer in the furrow, to close up the earth and watered. Plum, cherries require fertilizer slightly less than 3 tbsp superphosphate, 2 tbsp of potassium sulfate. For them, I am preparing a liquid fertilizer: in a bucket of water was added the above fertilizer and water the trees. At each plant will require 3-4 buckets.
That's all! By following these simple rules your plants remain in winter and harvest in the next year will be full-bodied and rich.
