Apple trees are not too picky trees, so growing a tasty and juicy crop is not difficult at all. It is important to follow the rules of good neighborliness: an apple tree is not recommended to be planted next to a cherry, peach, lilac or jasmine.
The next important rule is fertilizer application. June is the perfect time to feed garden crops. The fact is that fruit trees grow in one place for years. Of course, the soil is very depleted and there comes a period when the apple tree cannot get the required amount of nutrients. Even the most fertile land is not a guarantee of a consistently plentiful harvest. GLOBAL HAPPENINGS tells how to feed an apple tree in June.
How to feed an apple tree
It is best to apply fertilizer during flowering and ovary formation. Ash or monopotassium phosphate can be used.
wood ash
In a container with 10 liters of water, dilute 1 glass of wood ash. Pour the resulting solution abundantly water the tree under the root.
Monopotassium phosphate
Monopotassium phosphate is a water-soluble potassium phosphate. Fertilizer will contribute to the yield and improve the quality of apples. One mature tree needs 40 g of fertilizer. This amount is diluted in 20 liters of water, and then the apple tree is watered under the root. In June, one such top dressing is enough.
It is important to remember that young trees should be fed during the flowering period, and old trees should be fed when the ovary is already falling.
What fertilizer should not be used in June
Often gardeners make a common misconception – they make too much nitrogen and fertilizers based on it. In June, the apple tree does not need nitrogen fertilizing. This can lead to the fact that the young tree will really go into growth, which has grown lush and beautiful, but there will be very few apples.
By the way, few people know that it is impossible to mow the grass under apple trees. What is the essence of the ban and what the consequences may be, read in the material.
Earlier, GLOBAL HAPPENINGS said that some plants, such as marigolds or lavender, can repel mosquitoes. And calendula will help in the fight against Colorado potato beetles.
