I like this idea because my property is within the self proclaimed horse capital of the world so I could prob get all I want but I have been told horse manure no good and cow manure much better ( as long as they arent eating arsenic tainted grasses ) Cow better cause of multiple stomachs that filter out bad stuff?

Anyway thanks for adding to this

Cliff from Englands orchard nursery sells che plants. I have purchased 4 of them from him.
He did not sell me the 2 that are suffering now.
He explained that the mulch is sucking the nitrogen into itself and so now the plant is starving for the same.
I believe this.
Im gonna start or have started to collect my own urine.
Ive read alot about this online. Supposed to be the next best thing to sliced bread as an organic fertilizer for your plants.
Many other countries are and have been experimenting/ using it for years with super positive results.
Cant remember the name but we here in the u.s are buying bags of it as an organic supplement.
Large scale farmers here in u.s are using it evidently as well.
Anyway I have seen already firsthand positive results on some bamboo I planted years ago

Some people add fresh grass clippings or coffee grounds, but I'd research these before adding, to make sure you get the best amount for your particular plant. Too much fresh nitrogen can be a problem too. The other option would be slower, but to plant a ground cover around the tree such as clover.



Thanks yes ive seen these suggestions but I see nothing about quantities for a single plant. The bag direction might as well be in french

Leigh Tate wrote:Jason, can you get your hands on some compost? That would be my preference if it was me. The cow manure would have to be well aged and not fresh. The yellow leaves seem to speak of nitrogen deficiency.


It is planted in compost, how would I fix a nitrogen deficiency? Thank-you

This che plant is prob starving. Its planted in 50/50 mix of well composted wood chips and native sand.

Contacted seller and hes telling me to flood the plant with water and then add a 141414 fertilizer.

I don't want to put this stuff on any of my plants so what would work and please keep in mind these are not cheap plants that can be easily replaced.

Im hoping that maybe topping the plant with cow manure might help?

I know nothing about organic fertlizers.

Thank you
