Time to fertilize your trees and shrubs!
Now is the perfect time to fertilize your trees and shrubs!
Use 3 spikes for every 5 cm diameter of tree trunk measured at chest height
With a plastic driving cap, tap spikes into the ground, spaced evenly at your tree’s dripline (dripline is directly below the ends of the tree’s longest branches)
When spike is even with the ground, remove plastic cap and continue to tap spike to at least 5 cm below soil surface
NOTE: do not insert spikes closer than 2 feet from the tree trunk (or centre point of shrub). If the dripline is less than 2 feet, insert at 2 feet from the trunk
Best results are obtained with 3 yearly applications: spring, mid-summer and fall
