Good morning Alex ☕️ great video. The Japanese beetle has recently moved into our area. Nice tip about the dawn and water solution. Good luck with the orchard. I am enjoying watching you nurture the fruit trees and the Christmas trees. Thanks for taking us along. Have a good one, Ben 😎👍☕️

Morning Ben! They are absolutely destroying my poor cherry trees...hopefully they recover and it doesn't stun their growth too much. Thanks for the nice words! Big plans for the orchard for the spring :)

Now I know what those beetles are, we have some here also. I used some Dawn Powerwash foaming bottle on some crabgrass and it surprisingly killed it. Have a great weekend Alex 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂☕

Morning Luc! I'm trying to remember if I saw them last year and can't seem to recall seeing that many... guess we are in the same boat since you are fairly close to me. Bon weekend!

Good morning Alex, I use dawn dish soap and water for all pest control and on yellow jackets, it works great. Pro lawn and yard service guys turn their weedeaters on a 90 degree angle to use as an edge trimmer, does a nice job. I have Senville mini split units in my house, they do work well for heating and cooling. Your pear trees have a lot more growth than the ones I planted this year. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!

Morning Paul! I don't know if it's my string strength but I get no penetration with it... I looked long and hard at the Senville units that came precharged but they required a vacuum pump which would have added to my costs vs the one I got with the lines being charged instead. I'm sure at the end of the day they are all the same rebranded chinese units. Have a great weekend!
