Get to the Root of Trees,Shrubs
Trees and shrub fertilizers usually are applied in the early spring or the fall. When performing deep root feeding by injection or through bored holes around trees and shrubs,use a grid pattern with points every two or three feet starting at least a foot away from the base of the tree or shrub and extending one or two feet outside the drip line. Start from the trunk on larger trees. AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer
should be applied at the rate of 4 ounces to 32 ounces per tree depending on trunk diameter.
The ratio of water to fertilizer is three or four ounces of fertilizer to one gallon of water for hand watering down to one half ounce per gallon for injection and soaker hoses. When pouring the AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer solution into holes, put one quart of solution into each hole.
Younger trees and shrubs and those in sandy soils need half of the above rate applied in the spring and fall.
