Certified ExpertA.As long as it is well composted, it is good. I would use the chicken manure lightly though. It is high in nitrogen and this may cause the tree to produce less fruit.

December 17, 2010Q.Alternate Fertilizer for Citrus
I have some extra ornamental/shrub fertilizer and would like to use it on on the citrus trees I have. Any reason not to use it? I know it is not as beneficial, but will it help?

Certified ExpertA.It will help and be fine for the tree. The citrus fertilizers tend to be higher in acid, but that is not essential to the health of the plant.

January 22, 2011A.I have had great success with lemon trees with: water, feed with liquid manure, usually comfrey, mulch with seaweed, stable straw or horse manure and water again. I do this 3 monthly. Be very careful that mulch does not touch the trunk.

Certified ExpertA.Believe it or not, Wal-Mart often carries containers of a sutible size for this. Hardware stores as well, once the growing season is in full swing.
