any advice for improving fruit yield and preventing loss?
how to prevent fruit drop, fungus/aphids, and other common causes of early loss?
I rest a container of lady bugs on the center of the canopy.
I let them go ape $#!+ over any aphids or bugs they see as food.
In the evening I spray it down with neem/orange oil/horticulture mix.
Once it dries, it looks like nothing was there at all.
At this time, the lady bugs have already left the area or found their hiding spots.
I check the following day and discover that the lady bugs are perfectly fine.
They're actually quite hardy, my praying mantis's though are very skittish.
