permaculture

Dear Robyn ,

   Thank you very much for the advice. I will put in lots of flowering
plants around the trees and introduce some turkeys and chickens. I will also
contact the local insectary but won't the surrounding farmers' spraying
knock out any helpful insects I introduce ? They spray on average about 8-10
times per growing season. Also would it be wise for me to reduce my spraying
in the beginning rather than completely stopping it so as to give the trees
time to adjust and for the ecosystem to build up its natural resistance ?

   Thanking you in advance.

Andrew.
