Ozzie,

I started out using straight kaolin 3 years ago and then bought some Surround to see if it worked any better. I think it spreads a little easier. Last year I mixed the two together 50/50 because I'm trying to use the kaolin up. My mixture worked just fine.

Doreen, Ed, Phil,
Are you guys talking about straight kaolin or the more refined commercial
product marketed as "Surround?" Thanks,
Richard (Ozzie to you, cuz)

I bought some Fuji apples at the local grocery store yesterday, and they
obviously had been grown with kaolin clay cover.


Doreen,
We have used Kaolin now for about 4 years I guess in Watertown, WI.


Doreen,
I used kaolin clay on most of my apple trees last year and had very
good control of plum curculio which is my nemesis here in Maine.
