Tracking of your schedule and applications of fertilizer

[BKaus]

How do fruit growers keep track of your schedule and applications of fertilizer/amendments for the diversity of plants that you keep? Right now with the a big diversity of tropical plants with different fertilizer needs I’m just shot gunning it. What’s a easy way to record these events?

I use a simple paper calander, a computer may be easier but it's easy for me to keep the calander in my garage where I keep my fertilizers.

I keep each years notes in a Word file on my computer.

• I keep it on a numbered list or bullet list like this
• I am at number 300 by now
• I start a new one each January 1st
• I keep track of when fertilized and when fruits get ripe plus other thoughts
• when I see mango panicles
• when I plant and move things
• backed up in da cloud via sugar sync (free) where the NSA can also check it out
• here is Zill's fertilization schedule which is what I go by   >>>>>  http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5905298900_05f84f80ee_b.jpg

• You could also do the above bullet-numbered list via an email addressed to xxxxx that you never send so it always stays a draft email
• Gmail is best for this
• This way it is also cloud backed up and accessible from any computer
• I feel better about taking notes if I know they cannot be destroyed misplaced what have you

Google calendar with reoccurring events. Working pretty well for me so far, my android dings when I need to remember anything. It's pretty much the only memory I have left.
