Do you or someone you know have a fruit tree in your yard?
If you answered yes to those questions then you need mulch. Mulch early, mulch often. Seaweed makes an excellent mulch to add around the base of your trees before the deep winter frost sets in. I like to use kelp, as it contains over 70 nutrients that can be used by the tree. These nutrients are chelated, which means they are soluble in water and can be more easily absorbed by the root system. Aim for about six inches of mulch material around the base of each tree in a 4-6 foot wide ring. This will dissolve over the winter and spring, giving your trees protection and a dose of nitrogen and a wide range of micro-nutrients and macro-nutrients. Give it a try and you will be happy with the results next fall. Make sure to water the trees in the summer and apply my organic fertilizer tea during the growing season. You will have big tasty apples in the fall.
