Fertilizing fruit trees

Tried mixing in some crushed charcoal this time. Mix was:

Charcoal (3/4 cup?)
Triple-16 (1 cup)
Chicken manure (2 cups)
Ag lime (1/3 cup)

Fertilized: all driveway trees, rollinia, pomplemousse, calamansi, lawn avocado, Tahitian lime. Also fertilized #1 and #3 ulu as their leaves were looking a bit yellow. 

Total time about 1 hour. 

Noted that the fig was bearing four fruits. Decided to remove fruit since the fig needs to concentrate on growth.
