Did you know that you can feed trees with hair, yes the hair on your head. It is a slow releasing form of nitrogen.
Don't pitch your hair in the trash next time you get a hair cut but save it as food for your trees.
What you need to do is to mix the saved hair with oatmeal and some of water then ball it up about a fist/softball size. Put the balled up hair and oatmeal under the roots of the tree and cover it up really good with dirt. Try not to damage the tree roots.
Best to time to do this in the fall and I am pretty sure you could do this anytime. Remember this is a slow releasing nitrogen to your tree and you will not notice your tree's growth spurts quickly but your tree will gradually grow larger and healthy in time.
Happy Planting!
