Earth to Doo. Earth to Doo. Hello! No one thought you were going to move
your orchard to Australia, repeat "no one". Can you please stop
embarrassing us?

BillyGoat,

You miss the whole point of this thread.

The original sender did not specify where he lived, and Australia
would not have been my first guess. When someone claims results for
orchard maintenance, they are meaningless in this case where the
pests in question are not a problem.

Does that penetrate your thick skull?

How long has FarmI been posting here, Doo? Not much of an observer are
you? IIRC the thread started with a visit to a nursery (or its catalog)
where there was some 300 varieties of heirloom apples.

Done any gardening lately?

Really? Insightful into the depths of your ignorance and stupidity.

The point of this thread, which was started by Steve Peek was,
"If you have any interest in heirloom apples (you know, the ugly ones
that
taste unbelievably good) you have to check out:
http://www.bighorsecreekfarm.com/ . They have over 300 varieties. I'm
gonna
need more land."
Steve

You know ugly, Doo, I'm sure. I would guess that Steve was referring to
unsprayed apples, that may not be cosmetically perfect.
You were the one who veered into biocides to make your apples
"Photoshop ready". Steve was just luxuriating in the abundance of apple
varieties.

The original sender did not specify where he lived, and Australia
would not have been my first guess.
Agreed, your guesses haven't been too good.
When someone claims results for
orchard maintenance, they are meaningless in this case where the
pests in question are not a problem.
And pointless when the only "clean" apples you can get come at the cost
of personal or environmental health.

Does that penetrate your thick skull?
Better than being cracked.
Why don't you have another steaming cup of Imidan to settle your nerves?

I keep getting the impression that you can't remember who posted what, or
you don't understand what you are reading.

I didn't write that pests aren't a problem. I wrote that I don't use
sprays.

Steve Peek, who is the original poster, wrote that he uses organic
solutions.

I would have thougth that what both Steve and I wrote was very simple to
understand but it seems not in your case.
