My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fertilizing Fruit trees.

15 years ago

I know the best chemical Fert for Fruit trees is something like 24-6-6, a low Nitrogen type. What about just the old triple-12. I know for organic people, this sounds disgusting. About how much per tree, chemical type? How often? Once a year? Thanks...
