Do you drench the soil around the tree from the trunk out 2 feet OR drench a ring around the tree 2 feet from the trunk?

I used it from the trunk out about 3 feet (large trees). Last year I used it in a desperation move to save some large trees from bagworms, with surprisingly good results. I'm using it again this year. Trick for bagworms is to do it a couple weeks before they come out (time varies by location).

I used this product on prostrate yews, a ground-hugging shrub. When I applied the Bonide, I drenched the ground starting at the trunk and going two feet out. Since this is a systemic pesticide, the idea is to have the vascular system wick the pesticide up into the plant, where it will protect the plant from the inside out, so to speak. Hope this is helpful.

Absolutely!....that is the beauty of the thing. As you lightly push into the dirt into the side of the dandelion root it spins it right out of there. And without digging up any lawsn you might like to keep in place. I love these two cheap little tools. I pl.anted baby Aspen trees with the bulb digger. Beats a shovel by a mile!

I turn on soaker hoses for about 6 hours at a time. For young trees, I'd never let the ground dry out. For established trees about once a month through the summer. I use very heavy mulching over the soaker hoses, so I can get away with watering my veggies once a week as needed. Getting seeds started you can't worry about water conservation. They need to be moist.

The protectors wrap around the tree. You just pull open the protector and wrap it around the trunk.

our trees were several years old, I do know that new growth (tender-new growth cant handle alot of fertilizer) 'nMy reccommendation would to apply approx 2-3 ft from core or trunk janet

I used 2 tablespoons for each bucket of water that I made and soil drenched several buckets around a large tree I have in my front yard. To be sure read the directions that comes with the product for the particular item you are using the product for. Also I believe there is a 800 number you can call in the instructions or on the container. I hope this helps.

I would just put one fertilizer pellet into the feeder, stick the feeder into the ground just outside the root ball area, run water through it just until the fertilizer is dissolved (probably about 10 minutes. Then I would repeat it on the other side of the root ball. Repeat on the second tree.Once or twice a year should be adequate for the fertilizer. If in between the trees get stressed by lack of water, you could water their roots for 10 to 15 minutes. It just depends on how wet or dry your location is.

No! you need to measure or estimate the diameter of the trunk of your tree about 1foot above the ground. 1-2 inches takes 2 spikes 3in.3, 4in.4 and so on. the circumference of the tree makes no difference. the spikes should be placed at least 30 inches from the trunk of the tree. Spikes need to be placed at the drip line around the circumference of the tree. If your tree is only 18in. at the drip line it is probably to small for spikes.

The trunk lights are just like a net light set, but in different proportions. They are a blanket of lights that measures 2 ft x 8 ft. The 2 ft is meant to reach around the trunk, but there are no buttons or clips. You will have to use some soft twist-ties, fishing line, cable ties, or some other sort of string to pull the edges together on the back to hold them in place. These 2 ft wide trunk lights are the perfect size for tree trunks that are approximately 8 inches in diameter. If the tree trunk is wider, you can put several together. If the tree trunk is thinner, then you can have a little overlap in the back. The trunk lights are just like a net light set, but in different proportions.

The distance between the bottom of the trunk and the lowest branch is 36 inches. The tree is shipped in several pieces that you then line up together to put on the wall. The distance between the bottom of the trunk and lowest branch could be customized if you wanted to cut off the lowest branch. As you can tell from the photo, it is a smaller branch. The next one is about 10 inches up from that. You could also cut inches off from each trunk piece, but realize that the width of your trunk on the two corresponding pieces may differ after you cut them shorter.

After pruning I drench with a solution 1onz/gallon and spray it as recommended every two weeks to foliage along with a tsp of clear dish soap. The soap helps the solution "stick" to leaves.

If you are using the guards for rodent control, I would go get chicken wire to wrap loosely around the trunk. If sun, burlap wrap. For a tree that wide you would have to use to many and they would be tight and may pop off easily. Even the 3-4" trunks take quite a few of the guards.

I used a hook to hang from tree but does have 1 already. I need to make a covering a bit over top as rain ruins seeds. Right now I fill it up some but not full.

I sprinkle the granules over the top of the soil so that it is slightly visible, much like when applying granulated fertilizers. Then I scratch it into the soil and water so it begins to dissolve into the soil.

I would start with 1/2 hour. Test the soil after that and see if it is good and moist around the tree/plant. Normally for trees, I would use a regular hose. For plants, such as ixora, plumbago, etc. 1/2 hour should do the trick. As I said, you really need to check your soil and make sure it is good and moist down to the root area. Normally a soaker hose is used around plants like roses, azaleas etc. So, without know what type of trees or plants you are referring to, it is rather hard to answer.

Depends on the amount of light it's getting/temperature/humidity of the environment. I was going between once per day to 2 or 3 times per day. You don't want the soil to ever completely dry out, so as soon as the top inch of the soil is dry, water it. Water it evenly and enough so that the water is draining out of the bottom.

Have you considered putting a thick layer of wood chips under your fruit trees on top the ground (this is chipped branches & leaves that you can often get for free if you offer to let your local tree trimmer dump their waste wood chips at your place)? They are shock-absorbing (if the trees are dwarf size - not too tall), hold water for hungry roots so don't need to water as much, soften the ground below them => promoting more rapid tree root growth if extended out far enough, keep weeds away if deep enough, have an insulating factor in cold weather & overtime provide additional nutrients to the soil as they break down.
