Spray-less apple growth proves fruitful at Wakeman orchard
Wakeman of Orchard Home Fruit Farm near Ottawa reports 1500 bushels of fine apples from trees with only one spray last season. He credits organic soil health, mulching, and selective fall disking for disease and pest resistance, while recalling a 2,4,5 T incident that damaged trees nearby.
