Steel Stake Fertilizes Trees
To fertilize trees I take a 1-in. dia. steel stake about 3 ft. long and weld a 1/2-in. dia. by 1-ft. long handle across the top. I drive the stake down about 18 in. in 4 spots around the tree drip zone, then wiggle the stake around to enlarge the hole. Then I put a funnel in the hole and pour granulated fertilizer in. For a 20-ft. tree, I use about 1/4 cup of fertilizer in each hole. (Bob Moty, Crystal Lake, Ill.)
