Milorganite in a plastic bag works well. Refill every 3 months. Lead

This week I tried some very light weight quarter-inch open mesh
plastic net bags that <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a> calls “Yellow net bags”
<div>or something like that. They don’t catch wind, and might be
useful if they could be bought in larger size that could be</div>
<div>pulled down over the whole tree. Mine are about 10 x 20
inches when flat. On single one-year-old branches that are
making</div>
<div>lateral shoots, they crowd the leaves over each other,
limiting photosynthesis and bending shoot growth. I’ve not
found a source </div>
<div>of large bags.</div>
