Apple trees

Species: Apples tree.

Summer 2009 - they got Apple Leaf Miners and Wolly Aphids, some ants, tiny spiders, Chinese ladybirds and the lavaes too..

I am cleaning the wolly aphids with meth,
I am pulling down many infected leaves plus collecting the one falled down too,
I am feeding it with Comfrey, seaweed extract and wood and charcoil ash,
I spraying it with my home made repellent - in a mug I put some bicarbonate, few drops of Mandarin, tee tree, peppermint and cinnamon leaf essential oils, neem oil and e-cover whashing up liquid I dilute this paste with water - this mixure should help because it is a fungicide and antiviral and insect repellent.

I will plant
Tansy loves fruit trees and is a great fies, feleas and moths repellent
Garlic repels redspider mites
Chives
Nastertium loves fruit trees and is a great insect repellent
Majoram loves everything
