Great video. At 3:20 so true. When you see trees up rooted during a storm the root go across not down.

If you use a rubber hammer, the spike caps won't get destroyed so easily

If you have clay. soil the spikes break up when trying to installing the spikes - Better to use 3 ft long galvanized pipe and a mall hammer to first make the hole then no-bounce hammer to install the spikes

Or you could spend $15-20 on an 1-2" wide auger bit for a drill..... then drop the spikes in and cover back up with the dirt that came out of the hole

I use a little drill auger, and put the spikes down in he ground about 6 inches.

Yes, from what I know and read, you are to feed trees early spring and early fall.

This is not how you fertilize a tree. These spikes are gimmicks aimed at people who don't want to put any work into fertilizing. Not that fertilizing should be that hard, but spikes don't work and there are plenty of arborists and other people in the industry that will tell you that. Fertilizer should be broadcast evenly throughout the critical root zone, meaning from the drip line in, all around the tree. Spikes just concentrate fertilizer in one spot and will not feed the roots properly. If your tree is planted on turf, and you regularly fertilize said turf, odds are your tree needs no extra fertilization.

Can the tree spikes be placed in the ground during the summer months?
@blizzytaj Жыл бұрын
It's best to do it in spring so as not to encourage too much new growth in the summer

@@blizzytaj energy from a tree goes back into the roots during fall. So fall is good too

You don't need those caps to drive in the spikes. Take your garden hose and turn it on. Push the hose into the ground until it digs a hole. Drop in the spike. done.
