Paw-Paw

Brendan says... Hi Lisa, Try some Dynamic Lifter Plus, some sulphate of potash, some moo poo, a fair bit of dolomite, some gypsum, and lots of mulch. You'll have that many paw paws, you'll have to sell them:-)	About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 17th March 2010 10:24am #UserID: 1947
Lisa starts with ... A friend has given me two paw-paw trees but I know nothing about their maintenance. I have learnt a lot from this web site but I would like to know what sort of fertiliser to use. I know some plants need certain fertilisers so what's best for my brand new paw-paws? And if so, would it make any difference that I am here in Brisbane?	About the Author Lisa Brisbane 16th March 2010 1:28pm #UserID: 3486

Lisa says... Thanks Brendan, Would a handful of each be enough for each tree? And how often and when should I fertilise?	About the Author Lisa Brisbane 24th March 2010 12:44pm #UserID: 3486

Brendan says... Hi Lisa, A good handful per square metre out to and past the dripline is the recommended rate. That's just for the fertilizer. The 'moo poo' (that's a brand name btw), can be put on , usually under the mulch, about 100mm thick, if you can. Apply fertilizer every 2 months should do the trick. Lots of mulch, about 200mm thick, is the secret too.	About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 28th March 2010 8:27am #UserID: 1947
