http://www.ebay.com/itm/Granular-Sulfate-of-Potash-0-0-50-Fertilizer-48-Pounds-/170613568011?pt=Fertilizer_Soil_Amendments&hash=item27b95c720b#ht_1354wt_922I think it may be important to use the sulfate of potash, not certain though.The above link is what I bought. I used 100lbs or so for 20+ trees, 4 of these trees being 20+ feet tall. I sort of haphazardly apply it, kind of eyeballing the rate of application. I believe I had read somewhere to apply it at the rate you would apply a typical NPK granular.Hope that helps. Maybe someone more informed can give better specifics..
I noticed on one of those links from Ebay that there is a "Granular Potassium Sulfate 0-0-50" and a " powder Potassium Sulfate 0-0-50". I'm guessing these are identical but just comes in a different form? Wonder if the granular would be easier to apply? Thanks!
Does anyone know if there is any reason not to use potassium more than twice per year on mature trees?
