Successful experiment!!!!!!

In the spring I asked this forum if using row cover on my peach tree would keep the insects off the peaches since it is normally "fruitless" to try to grow organically in my buggy midwest climate. Some said it might work so I made long rectangle shaped bags and wire tied them around some of the branches leaving room for growth. My neighbors and friends chuckled at me but I'm the one laughing now! I have the best peaches ever! The peaches outside of the bags have some insect damage and serious scab. Peaches inside have just a little scab and no insect problems! So next year all my dwarf fruit trees are getting the row cover treatment, some sulfur spray and my neigbors can laugh all they want. LOL
