Home Orchard: At this time of the year most trees will have set their fruit and spraying is necessary to combat Codlin Moth on apples and pears and for the control of fungus diseases of peaches and plums. Some varieties of apples are subject to powdery mildew and should be sprayed at once with lime sulphur at the rate of 1 gallon of solution in a 100 gallons of water or ½ pint in 4 gallons of water. Strawberry beds should now be mulched with pine needles or sawdust. Before mulching give a final top dressing with a complete fertilizer. If possible the area should be covered in wire netting to protect the crop against the ravages of birds.
