Re: [compost_tea] sprucing up pine trees
With respect to what to spray - foliar or soil?
Does the tree have fungi attacking the needles? Does it need a "quick-fix" of nutrients? Any foliar insect problems through the summer?
Foliar sprays might be indicated then, but I'd like to hear your response before being any more specific.
Applying a fungal soil drench would be helpful, given the position of the tree. Maximizing fungi is the ticket. Adding a few handfuls of forest duff TO THE COMPOST a few weeks before using that compost would be best.
What fungal foods do you have to add to the tea to help the beneficial fungu grow?
