[QUOTE="mcbuck58, post: 5894932, member: 24609"] I'm changing things up a bit this year. Mostly because I usually have 200 trees and this year I have over 300. I use to take my trays (10 trees per tray for spacing) and put them into these wooden racks with wheels for the growing season. It put the trees at a good working height.[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7396.jpeg"]225752[/ATTACH] Then when it gets real hot and the trees are taller and drinking a lot of water I would set the trays into a plastic container on the ground. The plastic container had holes drilled low on the sides so it would hold about 3/4" of water. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7397.jpeg"]225753[/ATTACH] I took my old wooden racks and attached some 2x6's. I bought some bus tubs that were smaller than my old plastic containers. Drilled holes in the tubs so they only hold about 3/4" of water. Trees are still at a good working height. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7399.jpeg"]225760[/ATTACH] Also fertilized trees. I use Osmocote Plus. Pink bag not the green bag. It is a slow release fertilizer and does not burn roots, trunk or leaves. This is what I use out in my orchards and it's simple cause I can pour it right into the tree protector tube.
