I watched an interesting and scary film online this last weekend, Genetic Roulette (http://geneticroulettemovie.com) and I'm even more convinced that there is hope!  Well worth watching.

Back to Eden Orchard

We got our first delivery of wood chips today for our orchard, for free from a local tree trimming company that contracts with our electric company to keep elecrical lines clear of branches.  The basic idea is to mulch 4 inches deep with wood chips to keep in moisture and promote healthy soil.  Very exciting stuff.  Check out http://www.backtoedenfilm.com for details.  I'm not sure which part I love more: promoting better, healthier fruit in the orchard, or the idea of not having to mow :)  A year from now, I'll post again about whether or not the mulching we do this year makes a difference in yield and health of the trees.
