I wanted a Pickering but this is all I could locate. You can guess what mango this isHard to see but has three mangos hanging that must be cut off... Drip irrigation is via the plastic gallon bottles that milk and apple cider come in. Prick the bottom or lowest low down on the side. Use the most tiny safety pin. Even then do not do a full shove in. The smallest prick means the longest lasting drip"Water is the best fertilizer" Harry M. HausmanYou can add fertilizer to this gallon jug. I have not done so yet
Why wait so late to cut the green fruits off?I had tried this pin holes water bottle before, but the issue is the small holes got clogged up too easy by anything, aelgy, debris.Just bought it, just planted so I like looking at the fruits. But they are all going to be cut off in a day or two. I shall see what happens with my dripping water jugs
Cut it now to take the stress off it and stop the energy going to the fruit.In this weather we are having, I would ditch the drip and just water it in every other or third day or so with a hose. It will be better off.
Highly recommend a mycorrhizal fungi drench at the time of planting. This is what I've been using for years. Got it at Amazon and store in the fridge. 1 heaping tsp/gallon as a backfill drench.
Thanks for the -- mycorrhizal fungi drench -- advice. I will get one I see on Amazonk ---- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081QF9ZW6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A23J8QRFU2H18U&psc=1I must skip the Osmocoat/The best I am sure. You would know. I have too much leftover fertilizer as it is.
