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 around the drip line

10 years ago

Hello

I was reading about fertilizing blueberry plants and it the book I was reading recommended that they are fertilized around the drip line. Can someone explain why fertilizing is sometimes directed to be applied around the drip line rather than the entire root zone in both blueberry plants or in general?


Thank you

Doug
