For that receiving it is possible to fill in, for example, fresh manure with water and to insist within two weeks. The liter of the turned-out liquid should be diluted on bucket of water and on 2-3 buckets to pour out under each apple-tree. Nitrogen-containing fertilizer is also the chicken dung which can also be brought in the form of water infusion. Well and the simplest option – two-three week infusion of green part of plants. For this purpose the barrel with infusion needs to be closed polyethylene, in it to puncture several holes. Gets divorced also – infusion liter on water bucket. Care for apple-trees is constant pest control. It is better to do without chemistry and to spray trees with means from natural components.
