What time of year do we fertilize fruit trees? We received a soil test report from University of Delaware in April 2024 with recommendations to apply 5-10-5 or equivalent water-soluble fertilizer to each tree. The accompanying literature in our report is unclear as to time of year to fertilize. It recommended "trees may be fertilized any time from Nov. 1 to Apr. 1" so we didn't fertilize them yet, and our fruit yield this season has been minimal compared to the 2 other years since the trees were planted. Does the Nov-April time line apply to fruit-bearing trees? Thank you for your advice.

Hello, is there someone who can help me get bees out of my siding without harming them?

We have a vineyard next door. A month before harvest cannons go off all day and sometimes into the night. They shoot shotguns all day long. Twice now they we have had pellets hit our barn because they aim in our directions. Both times I was standing really close to the barn. They are inconsiderate, disrespectful of our privacy and life on our own property. The sheriff says it is okay for them to shoot towards our property because of the right to farm law. I guess the next time one of us will get shot and then maybe something will be done. They don't follow the standards to bird control guidelines in vineyards. They brag about how great their wine is on their website. We were here way before the vineyard was planted and it seems we have no rights to enjoy our life here.

This customers trees started discoloring and declining recently. They thought it was from our fertilizer lawn treatment. Customer said they’ve been there for a while.Looks like a possible root issue or disease. The customer does not have our tree and shrub service either.
