Re: [Apple-Crop] Soil Anchors

I am in the 8th year of 3 year staggered planting growth of a Tall Spindle Apple Orchard. The Planted Area is about 2.5 acres containing 1750 trees. As a first time grower in a VERY windy/blustery location, I did not want to deal with movement or collapse. Hence I chose 14ft long treated Yellow
