Feeding: Roots are not an instant switch. It takes a couple of weeks for the plants to adjust to a different nutrient level. A little bit often is gentle. OVERDOSING a plant with nutrients is the worst thing you can do, the poor thing has a nervous breakdown. May as well spray it with Roundup and pull it out a day later, totally pointless. A good Garden takes time, Plants take time, you cant rush the Seasons, your Plant lives for the Seasons, chill out and live at the pace of your Plants, leave em alone and wait. BTW the Black Grit works I gave it to a stunted woody Lemon on the edge of the Desert 5 years ago living in poor clayey sand almost silt and it came alive and is still short but so dark green and full of fruit year round, I have to pull flowers off and tip prune or it would break from the weight of the fruit. Its been a very interesting experiment. BG is Volcanic Sand as far as I know just full of Silicates and Minerals in Trace Element proportions, it helps the plants access thats already there. Ive done nothing else to it just applied black grit and water. Its why Thailand can grow Pineapples from canned Pineapple pieces. I feel sorry for Vasili because I got the Black Grit free postage in a combined $ deal and I ordered 20kg bucket and the grit was about $20 and the postage cost him $60, but Vasili dot not call and cancel the order, hes a Gentleman.
You make me laugh Vasili. Its a good start to the day🙂. Thank you for all the useful information and inspiration. Please never give it up. 🌿 Have a fantastic day.
@@annettecook7213 thank you, I might give that a try. I've never made jam but it's probably about time i give it a go, as now all of my fruit trees are starting to really take off and produce more fruit than I can eat. At least all the parrots and other animals are enjoying the fruits of my labour as well. Happy gardening.
@@aaronhopkins6697 Yes, mulberry jam is nice. You can also freeze them. Lay them on a baking tray and freeze for 2-3 hours then you can pop them in a bag for storage. Cheers!
My yard and gardens are vast, I have two compost piles, so now always have finished compost on hand!

Good morning Vasili and fam. My mulberry trees are absolutely loaded with ripe fruit today. Does Anyone have any ideas on how to store mulberries ?
Makes beautiful jam
