Yes that makes sense.. I do a lot of forestry work so I have tasted hundreds of wild apples, some amazing and some not so amazing so based on that experience I'd say even if half the trees were crap, they become root stock for the better ones... Thank you, I hadn't considered that before now!
There are a few older trees but most are between 1 and 6 years old, this spring will be the first time I see that fruit so fingers crossed👍

Hi there, I'm a landscaper in zone 5b Quebec. My client planted some years before I started working there. In the years since working there I see this white flowered comfrey growing in the ditches and forest surrounding their property.. I'd say too invasive! I dig it out every year and I don't think I am achieving anything lol.

I've recently been asked if I would supply a certified organic farm with the garlic I grow, if I should decide to expand and certify my land. As I toured the property I am looking at to certify, I notice about 40-50 young wild Apple trees.
I've been asking around and aside from acquaintances being excited to hear they maybe able to someday buy some wild Apple juice, I can't really get feedback from actual Apple juice producers as to whether or not this could be a viable product. I have seen some small produces of wild apple juice online but I'd really like some first hand experience.
Have any of you made juice from your wild Apple trees, and was it the bomb or was it a bomb?

The land is now naturalized so I could have an organic certification within 15 months and I know several organic growers who sell at markets. Any thoughts welcome.. I also happen to own a small fruit press and access to a more industrial as I live quite close to several large and small apple orchards.

Thanks for the help Benny, I am still narrowing it down but at any rate very happy to see them as I have heard worms love fungi!😊

Hello all, first post here but longtime landscaper/grower. Recently started making my own super soils for legal medicinal growroom, complete with live earthworms from outdoors(Quebe Canada here). Earthworms are loving the grow room and I have just recently seen baby earthworms after only a month in their new home.

My super soil is loaded with goodies like peat, worm castings, alfalfa meal, DE, coffee grounds, cardboard, oats, pea flour, wood chips and leaves... Probably more stuff but you get the idea. This morning I was shocked to see some mushrooms, would anybody know what kind it is?

Thanks
Ken
