Cappy I do the same to my citrus and a couple of fig trees not in the chicken pen. Those in the chicken pen get a good helping of "chicken fertilizer". By the way I use an old boat shaft that's about 7 foot long and weights around 60 pounds. Like you I find it getting heaver so I think I'll make a light weight model.

I do the same as well Cappy, just on the citrus trees though. I have an old pry bar about six feet long, 1 1/4" in diameter, roughly 50 pounds. Fertilize in March here.

The only other bit of advice I have is buy what you need and use what you got. It doesn't keep well and looses strength fast.

Cappy, over here in North Alabama we have this stuff called red clay. You want to come over here and stick that thing around my trees for a day? Unfortunately the tool won't go into the ground but about 2" and then you start to cuss it. It is hard to drive a piece of rebar in with a sledge hammer. Do you have any other suggestions?

Same thing in North Louisiana except we got iron ore mixed in. . The only thing I can do is spread it on the ground around the drip line. That works.

Great report Cappy.....thats how I do mine also......also have to fertilize all my crepe myrtles and my magnolias that way too

[Cappy]

I bet they beautiful G our myrtles are going great with out. and we got no magnolias. I only live a mile off the Mississippi river the deepest hole I ever dug was around 4 ft deep and it was still top soil. I only feed the ones that give out alot of fruit and nuts I figure they need more help than stuff that just stands there looking pretty.
