Autumn Fertilization with Neem Cake

After taking a break from harvesting olives, we decided to show our gratitude to our olive trees. Following the harvest, our olive trees deserved a little attention to be ready for the next season. We chose a natural approach and decided to nourish them with organic fertilizers. Until now, we have been using the organic fertilizer Olivo Bio. This autumn, we decided to reduce the amount of Olivo Bio and add Neem cake.

Before starting, we did extensive research and sought out the experiences of other olive growers regarding the new neem-based fertilizer. We learned that Neem cake, in addition to nourishing the plant, also acts as a natural pesticide, protecting olives from pests. An additional advantage is that it is treated in small quantities per olive tree, which makes it easier and faster to purchase and apply in the olive grove. Olivo Bio, on the other hand, is a real vitamin bomb for our olives, stimulating root growth and development.

Within a few days, we noticed the first changes. The leaves of the olive trees became shinier and greener, and new branches began to sprout. We felt proud watching our olive trees come back to life.
