This fertilizer is harmful. One instance I can recall, that they had us out fertilizining in very early spring, the ground was not even completely thawed. I fertilized a couple of crabapple trees on a property. I came back about 6 weeks later, and the grass under the trees was mostly dead. Because the soil was not completely thawed, every time that i would hit the trigger some of the solution would eventually rise back to the surface. The turf died out from nitrogen burn. 30- 40% Nitrogen is rediculously high, even if some is slow release. Besides, a tree is able (and we want it to) to extend it's root system for the purpose of acquiring and uptaking nutrients. Pump nitrogen into the ground, and the tree no longer has the need to. Bottom line is this- On an average day my total for fert would be $2000, on a really good day $3000. 4 or 5 trucks out every day. You do the math and tell me if what we were doing was good for the trees, or good for the company.
