  Having looked on how to grow fruit trees in the previous articles in this article let now how to take good care of them.Let follow the following steps: After planting, and in the first couple of years during establishment, keep your trees well-watered during dry weather. To keep weeds down and conserve moisture, apply an 8cm (3”) mulch of organic garden compost to the base of the tree in spring, but make sure it doesn’t touch the stem. Remove any blossom that develops on the trees during the first two years after planting – although it is very pretty, it will help your tree establish better if it doesn’t produce any fruit during this time. Keep an eye on the tree ties – loosen any which begin to get too tight as they can easily strangle the trunk. Growing In Containers If you don’t have much space, you can grow small dwarf fruit trees in pots (use a tree on a very dwarfing rootstock) and soft fruit such as strawberries, cane and bush

  In today’s blog we would like to share with you fruit tree planting steps to be followed.Let get started: Choose a suitable site Mark out the exact positions where the trees, canes or bushes are to be planted. Use a tape measure and some markers to help you measure planting distances and lay out the area. Prepare the soil at least a month in advance if possible, digging it over thoroughly to break it up. Dig a large hole (about a square metre in size), digging down until you come to a lighter layer of subsoil. Dig over the surface layer of subsoil lightly to help break it up a bit, working in a layer of garden compost. Making a slight mound at the bottom of the planting hole will help position bare-root trees better – giving them something to ‘sit on’. Cheap Website Traffic Remove any weeds or large stones. Bang in a sturdy supporting stake (if required), driving it in firmly so that it doesn’t move around. Bare-root tre

  Welcome to today's green-tech fruit growing section ,we will be giving you tips on how to grow fruit in your orchard. Select fruits and varieties which won’t need harvesting during the summer holidays (unless you can organise a community harvest day). With this in mind, make sure someone is available to water and care for the plants during school holidays . Start with easy plants like strawberries which don’t take a lot of room or maintenance and will give results quickly. Fruit trees can provide a permanent back-drop to a vegetable or flower area, where annual crops come and go. They can be used to divide borders and can be pruned and trained into very attractive shapes along permanent supports such as a post and wire framework or along fences, walls, trellises, archways and pagodas – all of which can look stunning in a school garden. Keep it small and simple to start off with. If you have a large area, it is easy to find a class-sized plot for childre

  Welcome to green -tech blog and toady we will be talking about ,the importance of growing fruits organically. Growing fruit organically, with minimal inputs and without artificial pesticides, fungicides or herbicides will ensure the food you grow is healthy, delicious and perfectly safe to eat – after all many fruits are picked and ‘popped into the mouth’ straight from the garden, often without washing first, so it’s good to know that there are no nasty chemicals involved. Fruit can have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but this tends to be the case where fruit trees, canes and bushes are grown on a large scale, or in close proximity to other fruits where pests and diseases can become troublesome. Growing a small amount of fruit in school grounds is less likely to attract the attention of pests and diseases. Information about reducing pests, diseases and weeds culturally is given priority in the following chapters. In any case, don’t be put off growing fruit – mo

  The agricultural sector has experienced diversive change over they hear .Let look how the modern agriculture has helped us. It makes use of hybrid seeds of selected and single crop variety, high-tech equipments and lots of energy subsidies in the form of fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation water. The food production has increased tremendously, evidenced by “green revolution”. However, it has also given rise to several problematic off-shoots as discussed below: High Yield Varieties(HYV) - The uses of HYVs encourage monoculture i.e., the same genotype (variety) is grown over vast areas. In case of an attack by some pathogen, there is total devastation of the crop by the disease due to exactly uniform conditions, which help in rapid spread of the disease. Fertilizer related problems: - Micronutrient imbalance: Most of the chemical fertilizers used in modern agriculture have nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N, P, K) which are essential macronutrients.
