Q.

Can Tui Mulch & Feed be used around Citrus trees?

Brian Jarvis

A.

Tui Mulch & Feed is a great mulch for citrus. It helps conserve soil moisture, is rich in nitrogen as it contains blood & bone and powdered sheep manure and so feeds plants and the soil.
Apply after rain or when the area has been watered thoroughly.
As well as feeding the soil Tui Mulch & Feed will help protect the fibrous surface feeding roots over the dry summer months.
Mulch & Feed also contains Saturaid to prevent water running off the soil surface and to channel water to the roots.
Apply as a mulch at least 5cm thick.
Avoid placing mulch right up against the main stem or trunk of trees as this can cause collar rot.
Tui Mulch & Feed is safe to use around citrus and other plants in pots and containers.
