What should we be doing now?
I tend to let them do their own feeding with their deep roots.

I don't 'know' Baz. But I have a two year old apple tree and I've just
sprinkled blood, fish and bone around it and watered it in.


Sounds good to me! Will do that today. A good handfull per tree?

Thanks for that.
Baz

But Blood,fish and bone are not soluble so you are just washing it down
to soil level.
If I tried that here the Foxes would go mad digging for the food they
could smell.
