Okay so we’re going to do some tree treatments. If you want to look over there and take a look at the tree we’re treating today, you’ll see that tree has a problem. It got mold in the tree and it die back. It probably has a disease. It doesn’t make any difference first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to feed it and make sure he got some good food in it.
Hi, over here, that’s it, over here, there you go. So this is a typical irrigation unit. There are a whole bunch of different ones in the market and we’re going to use this one because it’s really simple, the idea is for you folks to be able to do it yourself. Now in here is a mixture of things, okay, unknown for mixing things up and that’s what is good in the organic system you want to mix things up. My favorite thing to use is Agrigrow calcium that’s what the plants needs right now is a mixture of vitamins and minerals. Okay so we’re going to put some of this magic and this stuff right in here. You only need a little bit because remember this is a concentrate. That’s about it right there, then we’ll go ahead and take a little break and we’re going to we have to fill this up with water so we’ll be right back.
We’re filling it now. Go and turn left and then we’ll hock the unit. This basic is a really good for irrigation unit that means the water falls to it. See water come in. I will show you how it works. Screw it up, really nice like that, just hand tight. Come over here to where the hose is, unhook the hose, this tree needs to get involve with everything here so unhook this. Can you see that? Okay, you might want to get a little closer.
You got your eyes really going for you right, so we’re going to hook that right in there see. It’s a great system for the average homeowner, just have good fertilization with and we take the hose and the hose hooks up in line with this. So I hooked up in there and then we’re going to take it, this is the end of the hose, and we’re going to take and come over here and hook it up deep food feeder. This is a regular deep food feeder you buy in the hardware store and nursery, the kind that you supposed to put chemical fertilizer in there but we don’t do that.
So then I’m going to come over here and turn it on, you got to watch out the water is going to come out. See, close to there and comes out to there. The food will come out through here and go right in there. So the food will start to come out to this unit, see that goes out through here an mixed it in with little water where it comes out right back out again. So the food come out right through here through this unit and make sure that’s on.
Okay then we’re going to take this one that’s why it’s called deep food feeding and we’re going to go over here and we’re going to stick it in. There it is, we’re going to leave it on there for a little while okay, we’ll be back in a little bit and show you the next thing I’m going to do with this.
Hi, back again so while this is deep food feeding so the mixture that I put in there is really a combination of different things, it got natural bacteria in it, it’s got a very little nitrogen, we don’t need the nitrogen. We got minerals in it. A really good balance diet but it’s going to be a– the reason why we put it around the root is because the roots just starts absorbing it. We need to move it around here a few times.
But the problem with this tree is that the soil is dead, if you look here there’s no--this is hard soil, it’s a really hard clay soil and root systems are having a hard time going in it. So one of the things we do is we want to give it a good organic fertilizer that’s the stuff here. Any organic fertilizer will do. This one here has micro-rise in it, variety of natural things in it so you want to give it a good little dozing around the base of the plant to give it a good food feeding. At the same time we’re going to do variety of all those things to you. You see this is like a mixture of organic food, it doesn’t make a difference in the company you're dealing with as long as it’s a good organic company.
This tree is going benefit from the tree it should be getting a little bit of it, next door neighbor so you get it a little bit. You don’t want to feed them a lot because they’ll get sick but there we go a lots of good on them. And then we’ll go out here a little bit and there was the lawn because the root system is going around here too. You don’t want to get dusted maybe back up for the dust.
And then we’re going to take, unless we’re in casting, this is actually a rock dust, we want to give a rock dust as source of minerals. Also it is one of the riches natural bacteria on the market and natural organic food. This is organic, this is compost; actually the earthworm do this so we’re going to take that and put that under the base of the plant here like this. And again this tree here will tree is going to benefit from it. This time we’ll going to use the whole bag, it’s going to go right in here and you can put it down nice layer of it. Now if you look over here while we’re talking you can see that the waters is coming right out. You see it down here, see the water coming out running off over here but that means is that the soil in here can’t hold water.
After doing this a few times it will hold more water but for now the water is just going to run away. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to take this and move it to the another spot over here. This is like hard clay, okay, move it over there. Where at the same time I’m going to go ahead continue it with this side, like this and we want it to go out a little bit too because the root systems are all out here see that’s rough.
So this is going to get all the benefit from it and I’m assuming that you can hear my voice otherwise you would have something. So we’re giving all the stuff here. See, this is what’s taken, finish it all up. Okay, then we got one more thing we’re going to feed it and that’s compose seed meal. While the problem is going on with the soil, it says way too alkaline this clay soil is very alkaline so it’s get hard and roots system need certain ph for it to grow. So something acid will be very good for it, so again that’s a negative difference you want buy organic cottonseed meal because cotton is one of the most heavy sprayed. Cottonseed meal from heavy spray cotton will not be good so you want to get organic cottonseed meal.
And you want to get strong enough to open the bag so make sure you eat in the morning because this is organic cottonseed meal. One of the things about organic cottonseed meal is that it’s very acidic but it also has it own bacteria. Everything that I’m adding here as has its own type bacteria to it and it’s going to be a lot before this stuff gets into the soil. So one of the things we’re going to do aside from deep food feeding is we want to fuller feed it, that means we’re going to spray food on it. We’re going to coat this down. So we’re going to just give it a nice shot right now of the cottonseed meal.
See all, again this trees are going to love it, you might as well feed the palms you know they want some food too, “Feed me I’m over here, why can’t I get some”. So all of this is going to go underneath here, give a little bit to the lawn as well to make it look nice and green. Now all the root systems are out here so all these plants will love it.
Okay, take a little break we’ll be right back.
