Organic Orchard Spray Workshop
Interested in organic orchard sprays? Want to see how we can reduce the toxic loads in our island soil, by encouraging organic fruit production? On Sunday, March 25 I will lead a 2 hour hands-on workshop where we will make up a batch of the Holistic Spring Spray introduced by Michael Phillips in his book The Holistic Orchard, and used so successfully on Vashon by Dr. Ethan Russo here on Vashon. Click Here to see Dr. Russo's presentation on his use of the spray.
You can see for yourself the ingredients used, and what purpose they have in the spray: things like neem oil, blackstrap molasses, kelp, and hydrolized fish - which really does NOT smell like fish emulsion fertilizer, by the way.
We will make up a batch inside the store (it is safe and non-smelly). Then we will head outside to spray one of Country Store's trees using the battery-operated 4 gallon sprayer by Chapin recommended by Dr. Russo, so you can see how well that works, too.
Please join us, and bring home a sample of the spray if you wish - to show others what it looks and smells like, to encourage a friend, spouse, or neighbor to go organic.
