No More Wormy Apples

Earlier this spring I wrote an article about growing apples organically. If you’d like to read it, it’s on my gardening page under "Permaculture" below the apple blosom picture. I used trichogramma micro wasps to help control the coddling moth population in my apple grove. I also used a panty hose sock on each apple to make sure no stray worms could get in. This morning four or so apples fell off the tree so we took them inside to see how they were doing. I was very pleased. Not quite ripe yet, but no sign of worms. We made a rustic tart with them. ------------------------------------------------------------------
