With the arrival of winter, trees enter a resting phase or vegetative rest. This is the ideal time to prepare the soil with a good bottom dressing, a practice that provides nutrients in a slow and balanced way, ensuring that the roots have everything they need to start the next growing season with strength. <\/p>\n\n

Bottom fertilization is essential, as it improves soil structure and increases soil fertility in the long term. During the winter dormancy, trees can absorb certain nutrients that remain in the soil, storing them in their roots for spring sprouting. In addition, the soil at this time does not suffer as much wear and tear, allowing nutrients to remain longer and be available when temperatures rise and the tree comes back to life, so to speak. <\/p>\n\n

How to carry out background fertilization?<\/h2>\n\n

To make an effective bottom dressing, the first thing to do is to make sure that the soil is well prepared. This means removing weeds and aerating the soil to facilitate nutrient absorption. Once this is done, the bottom dressing can be applied around the base of the trees, making sure it extends to the area where the roots reach, making sure not the trunk. <\/p>\n
