Holistic Orchard Spray

  • Holistic Orchard Spray is a “brew,” developed by Michael Phillips, author and orchardist, which uses activated beneficial microbes to outcompete harmful pathogens via competitive colonization. This brew also optimizes tree health for proper immune function so the tree can use it’s own defenses against pest and disease. Plus, it includes an organic neem oil which destroys pests at their larval stage, effectively managing pests over time by interrupting their reproductive life cycles.

    By scheduling a holistic orchard spray session, you learn the recipe, how to mix it and apply it while we do so on your trees, in your garden. The flat fee includes the spray ingredients and time for a 5 gallon application.

  • One booking covers holistic orchard spray ingredients for 5 gallons, in addition to 90 minutes it takes to teach, spray, and answer questions you may have about the spray and other pest & disease management options. 5 gallons typically covers 1-3 mature trees. Order units according to your needs.
