[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 421471, member: 562"] nitrogen makes a huge difference in my trees, my native pasture soil was very low. Gotta be careful as you can kill them easily also, especially if they are very small still. If they are less than a few feet tall I would probably dissolve urea in water if you have a tank and water them with it, less likely to kill them like that. Also put down N right before a rain, or most of it will evaporate, especially during warmer weather. My more established trees I drive around on my ATV with a 5 gallon bucket between my legs and just throw handfuls near the base of trees, putting less down around smaller trees, larger trees Ill throw a few handful down. Dont fertilize your trees after july first or they might not harden off properly and die the following winter. I buy my N in bulk from agri fertilizer dealers, last time I bought 1000 lbs it was about $.25/lb.... If your soil is basic you might wanna get ammonium sulfate instead of Urea as it will also bring the PH down a bit, which many plants like.
