I
have a row of majestic arborvitae which help separate my house from
the neighbor's. They provide just a little extra sorely-needed
privacy. So after past seasons involving ice storms and
Hurricane Sandy, one or two were looking....sick. Their leaves
were turning brown and I was concerned that they would never recover
from ice and snow damage.
Enter:
Miracle Gro's Evergreen Fertilizer Spikes!
I
found these at Home Depot last year and figured, 'What do I have to
lose? The shrubs are already dieing anyway!' so I picked up a
package.
These
are fertilizer spikes. You take one out, put the plastic cap
that comes in the pack over the spike, and pound it into the ground
per the package directions.
Make
sure the ground is soft when you do this. I originally treated
the trees last fall and just did it again today. If, by any
chance, some of the spikes are broken in the package, just dig a hole
and put the cracked ones in.These spikes DEFINITELY saved my precious trees.
Today's
treatment took about 30 minutes for me to do a row of six trees, but
that's a half an hour well spent to keep these beauties healthy!
Give
them a try and let me know what you think!
