How to feed apple and pear trees in July

By the way, you can not throw away the weeds, but mow or weed out and lay them as mulch, this way you will retain moisture in the soil and slow down the growth of weeds.

In July, you can carry out foliar feeding of apple and pear trees (apply fertilizer to the crown), for which you can use humic fertilizers, for example, sodium humate or potassium humate, it is great if the composition also contains microelements. You need to take 5 g of dry fertilizer powder and dilute in 10 liters of water heated to + 25 + 27 degrees. The resulting composition can be applied to the crown of plants in the evening or morning hours.
