|
|
I planted a Meyers Lemon tree and Satsuma tree last year (currently about 4 feet tall).
I just put CGM on my lawn today (in NorthEast Florida) and added it around the base of the trees. I believe this will deliver some slow release Nitrogen to the soil.
I have acidic, sandy soil.
Sould I also add something on top of the soil for providing Phosphate and Potassium?
Any other suggestions? |

Starbucks gives away their used coffee grounds for gardening.
I've added this to my fruit trees (Lemon and Satsuma). No science here - just seemed like a good idea.... |
