Farming ProTip from Michael Phillips "The Holistic Orchard" [ Part 1 ]Show more

Spray your fruit trees from the tippy tops of the branches until dripping wet and work your way down the branches to the trunk. Make sure the entire tree is dripping wet with Michael Phillips organic fruit tree spray (ingredients listed below). This holistic method helps strengthens your fruit trees immune system to fight off pests like the Japanese beetle and other diseases.

There are four primary times during the season to use Michael Phillips holistic fruit tree spray. First time is just before the tree starts to form leaves or the leaf buds first arrive in spring, second time is before the buds of the flowers have formed, the third main spray is when the blossoms have just fallen off and the fruit begins to form [ like we demonstrate here ], fourth time is after all the leaves have fallen off the tree in the fall.

Holistic Fruit Tree Spray Ingredients include:

* Neem Oil
* Fish Hydrolysate
* Karanja Oil
* Microbial Inoculant (EM •1) - Kelp
