Deep Root Liquid fertilizing allows Fertilizer & Organic Soil Amendments to be injected into the ground, within the root zone of Trees and Shrubs that are in need of a boost. The Environmental Conditions as well as Regular Health Maintenance i.e.: Watering, Pruning, Insect Control, etc. can have an impact on the timing of fertilizing of your plants.

Dependable watering of your newly installed plants, for the first few years, is essential to their health and survival. Shallow roots can't tolerate dry soil conditions. The soil within the root zone, 6”– 12“deep, should be kept moist at all times. Watering slowly and deeply, around the drip line, is better than fast and frequently. Deep soaking throughout the season and through the next growing seasons are recommended by using a Soaker hose. This will allow the water to reach beneath the root-zone area. Sprinklers cause too much moisture on the leaves, which makes the foliage susceptible to moisture-related diseases such as anthracnose, powdery mildew and gray mold. Watering before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. can reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation.

IMPORTANT WATERING INSTRUCTIONS:

The First 2 weeks; Water DAILY
Week 3 thru week 10; Water Every Other Day
After 3 Months; Water once or twice weekly, between Early Spring & Late Fall

A few things to remember:
1. WATER! Plants cannot survive without adequate water, but too much is can be detrimental.
2. BE CONSISTANT! You MUST water deeply on a Regular basis for the roots to become robust.
3. ADDITIONAL WATERING During periods of drought, is essential for both New and Established plants.
4. AVOID Watering the Foliage, it can promote fungus disease.
5. DO NOT depend on your existing irrigation system, it was not set-up for the new plant(s).
6. DO NOT depend on Rainfall, it WILL NOT be adequate for several growing seasons, if at all.
7. CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY if you notice any problems or if you have any questions or concern.
