I would be very interested also. I have 2 apple trees. Last year (first summer in new house) I didn’t do anything and the beasties had a nice time. This year, I would like to make an effort and see what happens. I have heard that spraying the trees with soapy water (phosphate free of course) will keep 80% of the bugs away. I am going to try it and see what happens.
an organic gardener came to our house and basically said any healthy plant produces its own pesticide. i don’t know much about this, but basically he said the first place to look is your soil. is the plant getting all it needs to ward off predators?
Same problem. I’ve checked all I can find on-line and the recipe you have seems to be the answer. I’m going to try it as well. Interesting, Pianissima-the basil that is being munched was not planted in my raw food compost/organic soil. Hmm.
plnissima, I have clay soil. I’ve amended it a bit with organic garden soil and compost and fertilizer, but maybe that isn’t enough. I’ll try some more of something!
