✅ Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply 6-0-16 Fertilizer

Here’s how to make sure your apple trees get maximum benefit from every application:

🧰 Step 1: Gather Your Tools

• A tape measure

• A metal probe or iron bar marked at 8 inches

• A ¼ cup measuring scoop

📏 Step 2: Find the Drip Line

Measure the distance from the trunk to the edge of the branches — this is called the drip line. It’s where the feeder roots live and where fertilizer should be applied.

🔢 Step 3: Calculate Number of Holes

Use 1 hole per foot of drip line radius.Example: A 10-foot drip line = 10 holes.

🕳️ Step 4: Create the Holes

Use the iron bar to probe 8 inches into the soil around the drip line. Slightly widen (oblong) each hole so the fertilizer fits easily.

🥄 Step 5: Apply the Fertilizer

Scoop ¼ cup of 6016 fertilizer into each hole. Repeat this evenly around the drip line of the tree.

🔁 Step 6: Application Frequency

Apply once per month, and stop one week before harvest to avoid over-fertilization.
