Ask The Expert
Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Amy- I have a small Pin Oak that is not looking healthy. Two people have told me it neds iron. Is that something I can do myself or do I contact a company? Bob

When plant become deficient in iron the symptom is called iron chlorosis. The identifying signs are yellowing leaves with green veins. You can definitely apply greensand yourself. First aerate the root zone of the tree by probing the ground with a fork half way past the drip line (the drip line is the trees canopy). Then scatter the greensand and water well. Garden-Ville sells a product called sick tree treatment that is a mineral rich blend of compost, volcanite, and greensand that you might consider. Malcolm Beck told me Howard Garret and himself saved two old pecan trees on his property with this product - that was actually the reason why the product was developed.
