    WOW sounds like you're spraying a lot of scary crap!

    Why not work with local landscape services to provide wood chips as mulch and grass control. This will save them money, not having to pay to dump the chips, and provide you with low cost mulch and control of ground plants. Just a thought.

      And less herbicide and roundup

    You cant be mad at him, he is trapped in a monoculture! The things he says are necessary, were made that way by design.....

    My chestnut trees would kill the grass all by themselves. Winter rye would cover the ground until the tree leafed out, then it was only dust under the trees.

    Thanks for letting us all know how many different types of poisons and carcinogens
    that you use on your crop. I now know enough to avoid Empire Chestnuts if I see
    them at the store.

      @@RT-mf8uj He uses herbicide on the grass ( somehow he believes that grass,
      which has a root depth of about 12 inches, can compete with trees which
      send roots down 15-20 feet ), he uses Roundup on his soil, which is known
      to cause Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, he uses Pyrethrins, which cause central
      nervous damage in humans, the list goes on and on. He is a monculture
      chemical farmer, and the only solution he can think of for his problems is
      to spray a poison on his farm. Eat hearty, Mr. T. R. , cancer is good for you.

    Install a Barn Owl nest box. They will help control the rodent populations.

    Let cows and goats graze your weeds, stop spraying pesticides.

      Goats will eat the trees. Growing up as a kid my parents raised goats and the trees had to be wrapped with tin to keep the goats from eating the bark. I don't see that being practical on a large scale orchard

      No. That’s too much work. Much easier just to spray everything
