Greetings all from the wet north. Wettest spring/early summer on record
for eastern Ontario. Looks like scab will be a reality in the orchard this
year. Looking for answers/suggestions for a couple questions. I want to
plant an orchard mix ground cover in our newly planted orchard focusing on
leguminous varieties - any suggestions regarding type of mix and where in
Ontario one can obtain such mixes?

Next question, our orchard is organic and sulphur has not done the trick as
a protectant partly due to poor timing on my part but mostly as a result of
the extreme wet conditions. Any suggestions on how to minimize secondary
scab infection apart from continued use of sulphur?

Hoping early summer is drier elsewhere,

best regards,
