💚 Last year, we had a huge harvest with less damage from pests.
04/05 54F/39F
- To get rid of overwintered insects, removed dead leaves and seeds from the ground.
05/21 77F / 45F
- Covered the ground with about an inch of worm casting (improves immunity and deters insects).
- Layered with home-made compost to enrich soil.
- Covered with a thick layer of cedar mulch (deters insects).
06/14~ 66F / 53F
- 5 organic fertilizer stakes around the tree.
- Picked off any fruits with holes.
- Removed anything touching the fruits (other fruits, leaves and branches) - in the past, those fruits tended to have more insect damage.
- Continue to clean up fallen fruits.
08/01 92F / 73
