Yearling Fruit Trees Overtake Larger Ones
Yearling fruit trees grow faster and may overtake larger trees in a couple of years. Peach yearlings reach full size once planted. Small trees start quicker, suffer less root damage, and demand less from roots due to smaller tops.
Spread Manure Thin in Every Short Rotation
Best evidence indicates that manure gives largest returns to the ton when applied thin once in each short rotation or twice in a rotation of more than five years. Eight to ten tons to the acre in a three or four year rotation with 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre yearly yields excellent returns as noted by the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. A manure spreader saves time and labor, especially for light applications, and helps mix the manure more uniformly with the soil.
