Hello,
In regards to organic versus pesticide use, I can only compare my sister
in-law's orchard to my father in-law's.
She follows all the prescribed organic practices religiously, while he uses
a relaxed spray program only.
When her meager crop of apples is exhausted, she eats her Dad's.
Two orchards of the same size, one organic barely feeds a family
(preserving/fresh), while the one with the relaxed spray program feeds 4.5
families (preserving/fresh/cider).
My opinion... Properly applied pesticides are no risk. Keeping in mind
that organic "tobacco spray" and "rhubarb sprays" can be lethal. There is
a good balance that can be achieved between the two approaches.
Later,
Tom
