Hi Tom,

Thank you so, so much for all your legwork regarding Surround. I originally read about Surround in the Philips book about growing Organic Apples. It's a really informative book with loads of advice. Some of the info is quite technical, but logical if you follow it through. My plan is to play around with IPM treatments for my apple trees, whilst the numbers of actual apples is still quite reasonable. Most of my trees are two and three years old - so only thirty to forty varieties are likely to fruit this year. Plus, those trees will only have a handful of fruit which makes it manageable for one person. Am going to try bagging, Surround and garlic/fish emulsion sprays for pest management, along with a control group. Will only opt for more drastic means if necessary.

I'm sure the orchard will be a visual and olefactory delight. I can just imagine what the neighbours will be saying. The orchard will quickly start to resemble a Tim Burton movie - between the gray/white trees, hanging baggies and an Italian restaurant on the waterfront aroma. There goes the neighbourhood.

Would love to hear about how others have played with different processes.

Cheers, Bizmark

Hi,

This is what the company licensed to sell Surround WP in Canada sent me regarding availability of Surround WP (below). They are in Guelph.

Hi Tom,

Surround WP should be fairly easy to get a hold of. I don't know where
you're located so I can't recommend the closest location, but any of the
suppliers you normally deal with should have it. For example, any of
the chain stores will stock it.

If you have any more questions, let me know.
