A better apple...

[Gopher]

All right, is there a way to get half-way decent apples without spraying the trees three, four times a year?

I don't feel like spraying mine, and I met with a customer today who has six, and preferably not use pesticide, fungicide, etc.

How do the "organic" fruit growers do it?
