Cider as a fertilizer?
A distant neighbour who has some large citrus trees in pots, much bigger
than ours, says he has been told that diluted dry cider makes a good feed for citrus and that it was mentioned on a TV programme recently. Some young chap with a beautiful Lemon tree mentioned that it was his secret to success. Anyone heard about this or seen the programme? -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London. UK |

No, but I wondered if the fertilizer was added before or after processing, if you see what I mean. :-) -- Jeff |

Peeing on the plant after partaking or diluting cider as a feed? :-) I would imagine the cider would be acidic so that may help the citrus trees who prefer acidic conditions but what about the other stuff in it, sugar, alcohol etc how will that affect the plant/soil? -- Regards.

Would it work for blueberries? Alchoholic cider flavoured blueberries would be an exotic fruit :-) -- No plan survives contact with the enemy.
