I guess it’s better than sacrificing a young virgin to make sure they get a good apple crop.
I have an apple tree.
Let me tell you the secret to a good crop of apples.
Dogs. Specifically, water dogs.
We had a terrible crop this year.
I tried to figure out what went wrong.
Our dog, The Older Black Brother, passed away before this growing season.
He loved to play with the hose in the back by the apple tree when I turned the water on. He would drag the hose around and put it down and scratch up the wet, dead grass.
He could do that for hours.
Well, he wasn’t there this summer to water (and perhaps fertilize) the apple tree.
The back lawn wasn’t as healthy this summer without his thatching.
The secret to a good crop for fruit trees is to get a dog.
I sure miss that guy.
True.
