Table salt is "safe," but a box of it over a short time frame will kill
you. A man died in Germany (back in the 1980's) when he drank 20L of water
over a 24 hour period. In the early 1900's (1903 I think) Scientific
American magazine had an article stating how crazy driving an automobile

Here in Western Montana we had a few weeks of above average temps and the
bloom on our trees was huge. I'm new at apples and didn't realize how much
the trees were going to be over loaded with fruitlets. Now I have to thin
like crazy. The third leaf Honeycrisp trees have about 200 apples per tree,
I tried everything I could find out here in Montana - the commericial
products, bars of soap, sprayed-on soap and somethings I forgot. I found
the solution with an eight-foot hi tensile wire fence around our property.

A heavy crop will do it. Find a tree with good color and then make an
estimate of the leaves / fruit ratio. I'm betting the non-coloring trees
have 10-40 leaves or per fruit, whereas the good color trees will have
50-100+ leaves per fruit. My take on it..

The intended effect was to promote the idea that the right wing extremist
Donald Trump was trying to suppress opposition voices. Contrast this to the
fact that for years the fascist left has threatened any scientist that
questions global warming. The death penalty has been called for many times.

First of all, "Cosmic Crisp" is a stupid name, no doubt, some committee
consisting of 500 came up with it. Sounds like a pimpled-up teen-aged
super-hero character from another planet who gets real flakey if you mess
with him. And by the way, he has a red outfit with a big logo on his chest

David,
I use these, and they work great. I have no idea how they would work in
your situation:

You screw them into the ground using a tool that mounts on a 3 point auger
rig:

My gut feeling, not based on any science I know of, just a few years of kicking
dirt around, is too leave them until dormant, so that they can help with photo
timing in the fall and the senescence will put back some nutrients. Just
sayin'

Doug, it's sort of complicated. First, you probably know the bacteria travels
from the tip downwards. The idea is to cut well below where the infection has
traveled. You can cut away some bark and see where the brown area meets green
cambium. I cut pass this point - well past it. I'm guessing I
