My question is this: I have a huge orange tree that is supposedly sour. Is there any way to make it not sour? I hate to waste thousands of oranges. I heard putting lime around the base, is this correct? Any help? I have recently purchased an acre and a half, and the goal is to cover with all kind of fruit and nut trees.

I don't check these posts often. None of the figs growing at our nursery have died from disease, so I find it very hard to believe that's what happened to yours. Did you keep them well watered? That is the most common problem people experience. Potted plants usually need to be watered every day, sometimes twice, depending on how much foliage the plant has, in relation to the pot size. It is especially important when the weather is warm. Once the soil in a pot has dried, watering once will not re-wet the soil. You usually need to water many times or submerge the pot in water to override the hydrophobic reaction of soil organic matter. Chia – I didn’t receive any emails, I’m not sure who you tried.

We are doing the same thing here in Polk county, a little south of you. Lakeland is the main city and is half way between Orlando and Tampa. Our group the Barefoot Gardeners, have a website: http://www.thebarefootgardener.org and a yahoo group to learn from each other. We also have a Facebook Page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#!/BarefootGardenersOrganicCentralFlorida?ref=search" rel="nofollow">Barefoot Gardeners Organic Central Florida.</a> We are inspired to get many Food Forests going, and several of us have small organic farms that feed us and others, sharing our extra bounty at the weekly Downtown Lakeland Farmers Curb Market. We have field trips and classes at the Farm strongly encouraging others to grow it themselves. This is so awesome! We are doing the same thing here in Polk county, a little south of you.
