Organic Apples (post #16286)

When I go into a supermarket and see a sign that says "Organic Apples" I am VERY skeptical.

Yes, I can bag my fruit on the tree to prevent worms in the fruit BUT what do the "Big Boys" do to keep the words "Organic" and "Apple" in the same sign??

Particularly for the insects which are apple worms???

It is more difficult but can be done. Perhaps this by Micheal Phillips, http://www.herbsandapples.com/orchard/ can help.

The sign of a good gardener is brown knees, not a green thumb.
