Palm trees - depending where your palm trees are planted and what you have covering the roots (stone or mulch) makes a difference in the type of fertilizer you use.

Before you apply a fertilizer make sure you are getting the one that is best for your palm tree.

The grass near where I fertilized our palm trees was greener and thicker than in other parts of the lawn, when I spoke with Sandy, our landscaper about this, she said the fertilizer I was using on the palm trees is also good for a grass.

I will now buy one less type of fertilizer - will now need just a fertilizer for citrus trees.

Even though not scientifically proven dousing weeds with vinegar many times kills them faster than using chemicals.
