Soil & planting

Watering & feeding
R2E2 Mango does best with regular, moderate watering. Feed regularly through the growing season for the best crop. For the first year, favour occasional deep watering over frequent shallow drinks so roots move into the surrounding soil.

Using R2E2 Mango in the garden
