[QUOTE="tb26, post: 8041510, member: 164337"] Hi guys. Hope everyone is keeping well. A few changes this year in the orchard, we now have some shrophire sheep in, they are all lambing at the minute so over in another paddock. They have done a good job over the winter eating the long grass that was left from autumn and still grew into December, only one or two small branches nibbled. The plan is to get them back in until end of july until the harvesting is done. I took the advice of Kidds and decided on only having a few varieties for future use, I have about 40 new Discovery trees on MM106 grafted, fingers crossed they take, if I find success I will do many more next winter. I'm thinking back to last year and the main problem I had was codling moth. I've been studying methods of keeping the numbers down without chemicals and I'm going to try a mixture of water and molasses in tubs hung from the trees to try and catch the males, or at least find out how bad my problem is. Just wondering what kind of methods people use? [/QUOTE]
