Straight to the point ❤ thank you

Very helpful indeed. Thank you.

Making worm compost helps a lot as well. But never add onion peels , potatoes peels and citrus peels their food. But can cut up cardboard egg holders , a bit of soil and horse dung.

E.B. Stone makes a Sulfer, Potassium, Magnesium product. It's pre-mixed. Since my citrus (lemon, lime and orange) trees are small but in raised, open bottom beds. I use this stuff reggularly. Any time I see some yellowing of the leaves I spread this stuff in the top 1-2 inches of dirt. Seems to do the trick. Thanks for posting this. Maybe I'll start using my wood ashes instead.

Thanks for your comment and the info.

I add banna peels which I cut up fine put in a sealed container with water For one week. Then feed my 🍋 tree with it. I also give it each month some epsom salts. We have very sandy soil here in Stilbaai Western Cape.

Appreciate it!

Hi I re planted an 8 ft orange tree and it was very healthy looking a neighbor gave it to me so i dug it up and was able to get a massive rootball along with 8 or so very thick roots thati had to break in order to move it. The tree was moved 30 ft next door into my yard with all of its original soil. I dug a hole 3 ft deep by 4 ft wide square and put most of the loose soil back in as to set the tree up above the ground level approx 6 inches. 'raised bed' I also added a small bag of each regular cactus citrus all purpose soil , perlite , Cactus Citrus potting mix , fast draining mixed in with the original soil watered it very good. the ph is at 6.5 I also added a table spoon of vitamin b12 in a gallon of water to help with shock. after 2 months its starting to loose a couple of leaves a week. I'm sure its probably fine but the leaves are getting yellow veins then turn all yellow then dropping. its probably going through shock from the move. but my one mistake was listening to the neighbor telling me to cut of 75 % of its leaves as I dug it up. I'm learning the hard way here lol but doing my best. its been 2 months and all is well but will the leaves grow back in full this next season and will it grow the same amount of oranges as it did before? aprox 100 very sweet oranges , no seeds. Or should I let it settle in a year and get stronger roots and let it grow fruit the following year? its very hardy tree the root system is massive and strong and the trunk is 8 inches in diameter. its around 7 years old or so.. thank you for any help or information. just subbed. Johnny

Thanks Johnny. Yeah I doubt it will produce as many fruits this year due to the shock of transplanting and losing so many leaves. Best to take care of it like normal and be patient. A tree that size should be fine eventually.

At Ace Hardware you can find Citrus Foliar Spray (at least in Florida) - works well. Spray every 3 weeks is what works for me. Also feed quite often with a higher nitrogen liquid fertilizer.

Thanks. Greasy spot is caused by fungus, not ph imbalance. Copper fungicides are the recommended treatment. Dark spots don't sound like a lime issue. Hope this helps!

@@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII Thank you! Then I'm also reading that neon yellow leaves could be over-watering. This is a 5-year old planted lime tree, watered 8min on a drip, 2 days a week. Thoughts?

My citrus trees have yellow leaves. I have put so much coffee grounds there. I suspect that the soil is too high in alkaline. A week ago, I put some organic Citrus and Avocado fertilizer on them. I have not seen a dramatic difference yet. What do you think? Yes, I know I need to go to Home Depot to buy some pH testers. Lime is used when the soil is too acidic. But if my soil is too alkaline, what should I do?

Try sulfur or iron sulfate for alkaline

In Florida we need a tad bit of acid - like sulfur.

I think you should first advise viewers to find out what their baseline PH level is. Because you don't know which way to go if you don't know where your starting at. Ijs

@EatAndBeEatenHAWAII

Yes, have to know baseline PH. Here in Hawaii its quite uniformly acidic due to rainfall, making wood ash valuable for use.

Humans do not need carbs in their diet to be healthy. The opposite is true.
