Where do you purchase the products you mention below and can they be
bought in small quantities?
This is always my problem, too. Some of us have orchards. Others, like
me, just a variety of fruit trees in the backyard. When I started, I did
a great deal of research online about pesticides. But then I discovered
that I couldn't find the vast majority of them.
I might add that having a variety of fruit trees and bushes in one
location - no two the same variety, in fact - means that it's even
harder, because I can't find anything that's rated for everything (never
mind that they're usually in different stages of bloom, etc.). This is a
big problem for backyard growers, but not as much for people with
orchards, I imagine.
