Hang in there I am going get a sack in the morning and plan to make a post about how we do it. We have a home made hole puncher from an old tractor axle with a cross piece to step on. A wrecking bar will work too. We punch a hole and fill it up with a solo cup; of 13 13 13 and that's right at a lb.get a cup fill it up weigh it mark a lb off with a sharpie. Poor it in holes and place holes at drip line. We were told this is much better than just pooring it on ground it makes like time release columns of fertilizer. Small trees maybe 2 holes couple year old trees 4 holes at 90 degrees around the drip line. Full grown like our lemon monster, we put 10 to 12 holes walking around the drip line punching a hole every 2 steps. Our county agent recomended this to us and we been doing it for like 10 years and always have great crops from our trees. February is the recomended month for this and pruning and Lord willing we gonna be doing both tomorrow.
