When to feed citrus trees? RIGHT NOW! That’s when.😉🌳🍊

[@TheBullsGarden]

I been watching you closely on this brother my lemons and limes are doing great, you just might see that lemon pie this season bruh. Have an amazing day at work much love

[@TikiJsLounge]

If we don’t drink all the coffee in a day, I take the cold leftover coffee and pour it on my citrus trees too. I’ve been doing that all winter here in Savannah and my trees are all full of blooms or starting to bloom. I had always crushed up my eggshells before, but your way is much easier. I’m going to start doing that! I love it that you call us “family,” Mr. Lead! That makes my heart feel good. I love you and your videos, Lead family! Thank you for sharing your knowledge about organic farming!

Growing up, my father used to throw his old coffee grounds on the base of our pomegranate tree every morning. We had the best pomegranates in town.

I have a jalapeno and a tomato fruiting right now in my living room, and I'm constantly feeding them. I figure they need all the help they can get. Good to know I'm on the right track. 👍🌶🍅🌱

I also have a lot of eggs so I microwave them for one minute to dry them out. You can then crush them with your hands and no stink.

yeo i started using this method for my whole garden. im so done with compost piles! too much work. i just dig a hole, drop it in and let nature do all the hard work.

[@sashaarr7122]

Your trees are so beautiful.

[@mdiazdiaz5612]

Good video, it's relaxing and it reassures that what i am doing is good. I do the same thing you do to my plants with the egg shells and coffee grounds the results are great. What i do as well is i microwave or air fry my banana and plantain skin then i cut into piece and put around all the plants. Dude, you have so much stuff growing, i wish i had all the space you have so i can do something like you are doing. Thanks for sharing.

[@ReRe-ReelStar]

If you are not a coffee drinker, ask your local coffee shop for their discarded coffee grounds.

[@SgtRudySmith31bRet]

Just NOT starbucks there's too many chemicals.

[@CanaryBricks]

@@SgtRudySmith31bRet what coffee shop uses organic coffee?

[@SgtRudySmith31bRet]

@@CanaryBricks my local one does. All you have to do is ask, but I'd just ask about the grounds for your garden. If they think you are just trying to find organic coffee they might lie. Also I'd look for a place that only has 1-2 shops (keep it local) you have a better chance of finding someone invested in the community.

[@rversocal8889]

Used tea leaves are good too; just that it ends up being a smaller daily amount.

[@deborahfrederick916]

Lead farmer, I started doing the coffee grounds and eggs last year. But six weeks ago I started feeding fish emulsion on a bi weekly basis. My fruit trees are blooming like crazy! Thank you for the tips.

[@anla3957]

I like your simple method Uncle Lead ☺️ I bury food scraps at the base of my trees and they seem to be doing good no fruits as of yet but fingers crossed🤞 We drink a lot of tea here in India so Ive started using the spent leaves on my hydrangeas. Lets see how that goes! So excited! 😁

[@hebrewdaughter2786]

I wash my eggshells and let them sit out and dry. Then you can store in plastic jar or what ever you like. They don't smell at all. Awesome information 👑❗❗

[@patriciamolina5841]

Thank you so much for your advice!😉👍 I'm growing a lemon tree in a pot in my kitchen. I live in the high desert area of southern California and you can't really grow citrus trees outside due to freezing temperatures during winter. Stay safe.😷💜

[@BenOiBenjamin]

A tip i came up with. Save your simply lemonade(or whatever you drink) jugs of oj/lemon/lime aid, rinse well. Drill holes in top cap to which now gives you a diy water feeder. I have one filled with CALCIUM drink, water and eggshells. Another one with potassium drink,water and banana peels, and others for various nutrients. Orange peels, mango skins, Epsom salt, ashes,etc....You can have a good drink for any flavor your plant needs. (Insert mad scientist gardener laughter here)👨‍🔬

[@greenhousefun3235]

Great video I pick up my grounds from starbucks. Ive been feeding my trees scraps and chicken waste all winter. This is the first winter I've been doing it all winter. I was scared.

Lol, we drink lots of coffee, I have a bunch of them didn't realize good for citrus!! Thank you!!

[@0585ccook]

If you don't drink coffee or you need more grounds just buy big cans of the cheap stuff. Plants don't care if it's from Starbucks😄 Bring a big pot of water to a boil and add the coffee, turn it off and let it sit for a bit. I'd prob use twice as much water as coffee though I'm sure you could use more water if you wanted. Then you can drain it and use the grounds for the garden after they cool and the coffee can be used for liquid fertilizer mixes. We drink a ton of coffee so I'm pretty sure my compost pile is like 75% coffee grounds lmao

[@jeandudley7841]

Great idea!!!

[@gwenlfitzgerald-barlow737]

Great idea thought about it before but didn't think it would work as well, but what's the difference right??? So I will add a bag of grounds only thing is I hate coffee smell lol

Thank you Lead Farmer for this information. I bought two lemon trees in December and I wasn't too sure of when to start feeding them. I purchased a large round container tub to put each one in and will be doing the repotting this weekend.... That's the plan. PS... One is the Meyer lemon. I made sure to get that one because of what I saw you harvest recently on your video.

[@731lucille]

I’ve been following you for a few months now and love your channel as I grew up on a large farm where my parents grew everything we ate...even ground the cane and made the syrup that would take all day. I ordered a small Meyer Lemon tree....not dwarf though I later found out...in November. It was about 12 inches high with one limb . It came with a two blooms in which I hand pollenated and a lemon formed-brought it in from the below 50 degrees temperatures The leaves at the top are drying up and falling off and the little lemon has turned yellow. I tried misting with bottled water I will try feeding it to save it. I gave it only a little organic citrus fertilizer when I potted it. Thank you for your help.

Hi i watched your video yesterday and i made a comment about i do the same thing you do with the egg shells and coffee grounds but i forgot to add that you should microwave your egg shells before putting them around your garden this will kill any Salmonella. I put my egg shells in a bowl then in the microwave for two minutes i taken them out and mash them with a small bowl or whatever then i put back in the microwave for another two minutes when you microwave the egg shells they break apart very easily I mash them again and that's it. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful video's i watch them all.

[@PatricesProjects]

Excellent advice my friend. I need to up my coffee intake. Funny thing is, is that I was making coffee as I was watching this.

[@ManeCuisine]

I love this! If you rinse your egg shells and dry them on the counter while you are at work it won't stink. Also I have little ones. Banana peels from their snacks work great for me fruiting plants. I just blend them up and put right in the soil! Some times i let them start to rott in a ziplock in the fridge to make it easier for my plants and trees.

[@MsShirleyOGGardener]

I put banana peels under my roses for the potassium. Same principle as the coffee and eggs fir the citrus.

Thanks for the info!

[@Chrls5]

For the Egg Shells , i would actually recommend to convert them into calcium carbonate, just bake them in the oven until they become brown, then you can process them into a fine powder, then mix this powder with vinegar and wait 10 days, until it all disolves, then you will have calcium acetate, if you dry this in the oven, youll get crystaliaztion of the calcium acetate, wich you can give you your plants, and that way it is calcium soluble in water.
