I’ve been sprinkling a little blood meal for some extra nitrogen, but it doesn’t have quite that much. But I also do nitrogen rich liquid fertilizer at least twice a week.
My interior leaves are slowly yellowing and dropping, but the new growth looks very green and healthy. You guys think that’s lack of nitrogen, or normal for growing in our climate?
Great question and discussion. i haven't treated or fed mine with anything and most of the new growth on the trees I've looked at so far are putting out nice deep green growth. No doubt they all need something good to eat. I have some bone meal left, how's the blood meal working out?
I have a half thought thru theory that during the winter the soil pH increases due to reduced rain water and replacing it well mineral ridden well water. Then in the summer the rain water begins to neutralize whatever salts built up etc. Unleashing these beasts we know of as trees.
Heyey rk when did you start working with the nitrate?? Whatever is going on I hope it continues.
