In the spring it is fertilized with urea, during the formation of fruits, superphosphate and potassium sulfate are added. It is better to alternate urea with ammophos after a year. During autumn digging, 20 kg of compost are fertilized. After 7 years, organic fertilizers are fed once every 4 years, mineral fertilizers can be fertilized a little every year.
