Just bought a few bags of composted steer manure to add around the citrus trees this weekend. I wanted to buy some chicken manure, but Lowe's doesn't seem to sell it. I'll post more imagesof this process as I will be removing the 3/4" rockmulch that is there now and replacing it with this organic style ofading nutrients in addition to being a mulch for better water conservation.
Enjoy the weekend and remeber when it comes to established citrus, (two years in the ground or longer), you want to fertilize three times per year - Valentine's Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!
