As you may know, I'm starting at a new garden this season. This one is a well established classic garden. With it comes many small and poorly pruned (but definitely pruned!) fruit trees.

When I arrived at the farm on wednesday, I found several of the farm workers painting tree trunks with a mixture of latex and lime. IT was a GRAY mixture. I freaked! (I'm just starting there, so this conflict in philosophy is understandable..er, forgiveable)

Anyway, I stopped this process and promised to show up on Monday with the goodies for tree paste. Now I"m wondering if it is 'worth the effort' this late in the season. 'Worth the effort' meaning 'competing with CSA seeding and bedmaking for deliveries that start 4/15) It does seem worth the effort to me, of course.

Someone remind me: where does 'water glass,' or whatever it was, fit into this recipe? (Instead of sand?? instead of equisetum) AND, is 'water glass' a liquid?

Thanks -Allan
