Iron supplements for apple trees
We planted one Anna and one Dorsett Golden apple tree in January. The leaves look curly, a little yellow, and generally unhappy right now, and someone suggested adding chelated iron, as there is not enough iron in our soil for apples. I fertilized with the organic fertilizer sold at Tree Day, and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice. Please?

Jana,
I have read that is not lack of iron so much as it is the PH. If the soil is acidified, then the iron that is present is available to the plants. Coffee grounds works great for this, can't over do it, organic, and free from Starbucks.
Best,
Lis

Hi David - sorry it too so long to get back to you - the grass has died and we think it was a combination of acidic chicken poop, not enough water and not enough direct sun. The chickens actually seem to like it better without the grass being gree...
Right on. It took just over a month for that one to grow. So, if it grows at the same pace this time, the next one will be ready sometime around the first week of December.
I just watched this online, www.greenthefilm.com.
It is a free download, free to screen when ever and where ever possible. Lets just say I am pretty moved by this simple yet direct film.
