Zach shares his 4 step method in the first two minutes. After that, stick around to learn about the best ways to care for fruit trees. I promise you will learn something - I did! Thanks, Zach!

Zach at Arizona Worm Farm created a “forest of fruit trees” that he can pick fruit from every day of the year. In this post, he shares his 4-step permaculture method for how to fertilize fruit trees organically. This method replicates what the trees get in a forest, producing healthy trees with more fruit.

    I cannot thank you enough for this highly-informative video. The simplicity of the instructions and process is going to completely change how I manage my fruit trees…so much easier…and healthier.
  • @breaking_bear
    Great information! I especially liked the coincidence of fertilizing with valentines, memorial, and labor day! Very cool!
  • @suzanmckain9256
    I live in the Caribbean and this provided some really helpful tips for successful growing of fruit trees in my yard. I will create my own timing as we have only seasons, dry and wet. Lovely
  • @WisGuy4
    I have said this before, but you do a simply outstanding job of packing an enormous quantity of exceptionally helpful information into a reasonable length video, and still manage to keep it interesting. I’ve referred your channel to many of my friends who are starting to get into gardening. Your videos are super helpful even though some of what you do in a hot south west climate doesn’t necessarily apply in the upper Midwest.
  • @karenr7931
    This information was very encouraging and proves that gardening isn't as complicated as we sometimes believe it to be.

    I was at AZ Worm Farms this morning to get worm castings for my new fruit trees - thanks in part to this video! - and saw you! I was a little starstruck seeing a YouTuber out in the wild, but in the best way. Best of luck with whatever you're working on right now, and thanks for all the great content to help me with my Phoenician garden!
  • @thejmac69
