Step 1:
Determine where the drip line is for your established
tree.
The drip line is on
the ground around the outer edge of the leaves on the
tree. In the picture on the left, a white pvc pipe
depicts the location of the drip line. The white
rope on the ground depicts the drip line around this
tree. Most of the active feeder roots occur in the
drip line around a tree. Probe holes will be made
in the ground every foot in the drip line (denoted by
the flags and the red tape on the rope) by an earth
digger bar and one teaspoon of BioVam will be put down
each hole.
Note:
If your tree
is recently planted, the roots will not be very far from
the trunk of the tree. I this case, make the probe
holes closer to the trunk of the tree where the roots
are growing. |
|
 |
Step 2: Mark
the Earth Digger Bar with tape.
Put a piece of tape around the
Earth Digger Bar about 8-12" up from the pointed end of
the bar. This will be your guide as to how deep to
make the probe holes around each tree. |
|
|
 |
 |
Step 3:
Using the Earth Digger Bar, poke probe holes 8-12" deep
every foot around the drip line as depicted by the
pictures on the left. |
|
|
 |
Step 4:
Put
one level teaspoon of BioVam down each probe hole.
The object of all of this is to get BioVam in contact
with the tree's feeder roots. Since BioVam will
not filter down through the soil from the top, we make
probe holes around the drip line down into the ground
where the most active feeder roots are located. |
|
|
 |
If you would like
even better coverage of the roots, or the tree has only
been in the ground for 1-2 years, make another circle of
probe holes closer to the tree trunk (depicted by the
rope closer to the tree) as shown in the picture on the
left. |

Treating Trees with biosol forte 7-2-1 and Planters II
trace mineral fertilizer.
biosol forte 7-2-1 organic fertilizer
and Planters II trace mineral fertilizer can be applied
from just outside the drip line to the trunk of the
tree. A single application per year will suffice.
In addition, it is a good idea
to apply lime (not dolomite lime), gypsum, and soft rock
phosphate along with a little iron sulfate once a year.
This will insure you have calcium and phosphate presence
to grow high brix plants. |
|
|
 |
Planters II being
applied over the drip line of the tree.
Biosol Forte 7-2-1 organic fertilizer
can be applied the same way. |

Treating Trees with Soil Life Tea for Frost Protection
Step 1: Brew up some
Natures own growing system Soil Life Tea and add Yucca
extract to the tea. Dilute 1:5 in water to make
1.5 gallons of diluted tea. Wet plants down with
the tea. Instead of brewing the tea, you can get a
quart of our Ready To Use Soil Life Tea and dilute that
1:5 in water. When late frosts come while trees
are in bloom, the plants will be protected from the
frost. |
|
|
 |
Step 2:
Spray the tree down so it is wet with the Soil Life Tea
+ Yucca extract added. This is all it takes to
protect the tree from late frosts when the blooms are on
the tree. |
|
|
 |
The Yucca Extract
added to the tea will foam up as shown in the photo to
the left. Yucca makes plant cells more permeable
to water and nutrient uptake. This makes it
possible for brix levels to rise in the plant while
blooming. See our
Pear Tree
Exhibit for pictures of frost covering leaves and
blossoms without damaging the blossoms. |

Supercharge Tree Root Systems with Soil Life Tea.
Step 1: Brew up some
Natures own growing system Soil Life Tea and add Yucca
extract to the tea. Dilute 1:5 in water to make
1.5 gallons of diluted tea. Wet plants down with
the tea. Instead of brewing the tea, you can get a
quart of our Ready To Use Soil Life Tea and dilute that
1:5 in water. |
|
|
|
Step 2:
Make
probe holes around the drip line every foot that are one
food deep. Divide the distance in half between the
drip line and the trunk of the tree and make another set
of probe holes there. |
|
|
 |
Step 3:
Spray Soil Life Tea down each probe hole until it foams
at the top of the hole. |
|
|
 |
Step 4:
Spray
the area from the drip line to the trunk of the tree
with Natures Own Growing System Soil Life Tea.
This will allow the bacteria and fungi in the tea to
interact with most of the tree's feeder roots. |
