[IBC] Fumigate and Fertilize

Roberto Alday Delgadillo

Hi,



As you may remember, I am new on this "hobby" (I have less than 2 years doing it), so I have a lot of doubts about my trees. Particularly, at this moment I have a bad time trying to determine if I can Fumigate AND Fertilize two of my trees (A young Hinoki
and a Jade).



I used to Fertilize my trees every three months, but since I have been reading some posts at the forum and in some other sources, I realized that a lot of people fertilize every 15 days, so I decided to do the same. I know that if I don't fertilize the tr
ees this time there won't be any problem, but how much time do I need to wait until I can fertilize them again after I fumigate?



Also, I have some doubts about what kind of fungicide should I used to get rid of the tinny white worms (Aprox. 1/16" to 1/8") that appears on the earth when I water my trees. I was thinking on using Malation or Suphration to do so, am I correct or you ha
ve some other options less aggressive?



As usual, let me thank you all in advance for your help.



"Saludos" from Mexico City,

Roberto

Roberto,

I had an ant problem. I used many types of chemicals to get rid of them in the soil of my plants. Recently, I found completely submerging the pot in water, the ants/bugs come to the surface or drown. Those that climbed the tree were ones I blasted off
with the water hose.

I don't know what type of creature you have in your soil, but this might work for them too.

Kitsune,



Thank you very much for your reply, but I guess these tinny worms are a little more resistant than ants. As a matter of fact, they appear when I water the tree and it seems that they don't have any problems with swimming (even more, I guess they like it),
but you never know. I am going to try your advice during the weekend and I will let you know the results.



"Saludos",

Roberto
