Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

   Compost, and mulch mixed into soil use 1 cubic yard each per 5 foot by 5 foot area of garden, losen up soil well and mix into it, Also buy a couple 1 gallon bags of WORM CASTINGS
   and mix into soil as well. Worm castings are excellent for plant growth. After you have palnted and your garden is coming up use SUPER THRIVE Root growth hormone, 1 cap full per gallon of water, use it every other time you water.
   If you wish to control pests with out useing poisons, Go to the grocery store, buy 5 to 10 garlic bulbs, break them apart in a flat pan and roast them at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, let them cool, scatter them in the garden, keeps most bugs out, you can also buy ladybugs YES ladybugs at most garden centers, they are live, just sprinkle them around in the garden, they only eat other bugs, and will not hurt plants.
   Best of luck Happy growing, . You can go ahead and amend your soil now for spring planting or fall planting depending on what you are growing.

   If you’re new, then start small to avoid being overwhelmed. Check with your neighbors to see what works in your areas. It is better to do a soil test first to see what amendments are needed if any. When in doubt, compost or organic matter will usually improve the soil.

   I would start by adding a little LIME from a farmers CO-OP, then maybe add a little fertilizer, and be sure you cultivate or till into the dirt. This will help soften the dirt. Compost will make working easier and retaining moisture better.

   Go get a few boxes of rabbit manure and work it into the soil……that’s the quickest…….and go to work……….it’s also very good and doesn’t burn. Have fun and happy eating “eve”………leave the apples alone:)
