Don't be a litterbug!

摘要

As the season comes to an end, it is important to use techniques to reduce leaf litter in the orchard. Leaf litter can create a habitat for pest infestation. Just think -- a colony of insects breeding during the arctic months of winter, just waitingfor the first warm, sunny day to break free on your new crop. Leaf litter is a manageable problem, but if left untreated, it can pose a threat the next growing season. Debris left on the ground following pruning, thinning, and harvesting can be the beginning of the end of your crop.
