Theres something about this brand fertilizer compared to other organic brands, my avocado and mango produce more and slightly larger fruit, i just move the soil, spread this in the groove then cover with the soil. For fun i also sprinkled some in some sugarcane propagating in water and the speed at which they developed was surprising, placed a little in potted Bougainvillea and Hydrangea and they look healthy and are pushing out lots of blooms. I will test on grapes and strawberries, but this is a winner for me and i used less than directed.

Not related to the deal. Since my gardeners here asking a question, what is the best fertilizer for guava trees and the timing of it please. Thanks

Quote from ThanksDude :
Doesn't take much work, pruning is only necessary to either shape it to your desire preference (shape and height) or if you want/need to stimulate the tree's growth pattern. Either way fruit will grow, it's just a matter of if you want to maximize your production (extra 10~15% yield with strategic pruning?). The real thing to consider is if your soil is super dry and you need to water it often which can drive up your cost. If your soil is moist, then no need for a lot of watering. If you get a peach tree, highly recommend getting either a Babcock or donut/Saturn peach tree, super juicy and easy to grow (but you got to thin out the donut/Saturn peaches as they are known to overpopulate branches which often result in branches breaking due to overweight). Oh, and of course birds and rats can steal your fruit while still on the tree. On second thought, it is a lot of work if you got these types of pests, and you want to minimize/eliminate such thievery.

And if you really want to go all in, you can graft many different varieties of peaches, nectarines, plums and apricots on one tree (as these are all compatible to grow on the same tree). This is what I have done and is a great way to save space and get a variety of different fruit.
Woah 🤯

Didn't know this was even possible. This changes everything! Seems like an awesome investment. I'll probably buy a tree already grafted.

What fertilizer is good for berries
Get Espoma Organics Holly Tone 27 lbs for $17.99 at Costco. Seasonal item. Use for acid loving plants like berries, etc.

My guidance for good price for organic fertilizer is $1 per pound. Although application rates per brand vary.

Yea, HD and Lowes also have such trees. It's just a matter of finding the varieties that you like/want. In my area, there is an event that growers attend during the winter to exchange scions (new branch growths of donor fruit trees) of various different fruits and varieties. Then in early spring, these are grafted onto their trees. But this does take time and patience.

Bottom line, if you want soil fertilization this season, go with synthetic. If you want more organic matter into the soil, go with organic.
No, no, no. That couldn't be further from the truth. Organic fertilizers like espoma and jobe's do NOT take an entire season to become available to the plants. That's complete rubbish. I've been using them for YEARS and they work fairly quickly, early in the initial season when they were applied. You are wrong.

Works well, but fust FYI it smells horrific.
I have a bag and switched back to Dr. Earth due to the odor since I use it on an indoor key lime tree.

Actually you are correct. Normally it takes up to five years, because organic matter is not yet decomposed enough for the bacteria to be able to use it to feed the plants down the road.

If it acts fast, then I would seriously question if it is organic.

OMRI listed for organic gardening by USDA; Certified organic means no synthetic chemicals

I think you may be confused what organic means. The fertilizer is made with USDA organic material. It does not mean the fertilizer is composed of unprocessed organic matter. It's chemically processed.

There's even a loophole where non-organic materials are allowed, when organic ones are not readily available.

I know what organic is (but I try to be aware of my own limitations), however I emphasize the gardening aspect. If it's chemically processed, it may be USDA organic, but is it really organic in that it can be produced spontaneously in nature/garden?

I have never seen any product using the other definition of organic.
USDA organic and organic certifications are just the labels. It has nothing to do with whether a product contains organic or inorganic materials.

It is used by certain articulate gardeners. Product, no, unless you count blog posts and such.

I ordered it from Home Depot based on your comment and I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. Been weeks and weeks. Long live Amazon.
