In this video Dan shares with you how to go about preventing and combating the dreaded fruit tree disease known as peach leaf curl aka (Taphrina deformans) using organic and manual controls.
Step by step instructions:
1) Apply copper fungicide in the fall after the tree has lost all of it's foliage and then again in the spring just before the tree begins to flush out it's new growth.
2) Clean up any fallen leaves below the affected tree and get it out of the garden. Do not compost the fallen leaves as this will further proliferate the fungus.
3) At the end of the growing season remove and replace any of the old mulch used around the tree. (Discard, do not compost)
4) Winter prune and maintenance prune the affected tree so that it has adequate airflow during the peak growing season.
5) Once the tree has come out of winter dormancy, remove any visible diseased leaves and/or twigs on the tree.
5) You can continue treatment of the tree and it's leaves with copper fungicide throughout the spring and summer as needed (weekly/bi-weekly). However, take care not to spray during the daytime when beneficial insects like bee's are present and the sun is full. Also be aware that copper although organic is a heavy metal that can accumulate in the soil which can become detrimental to the soil food web. A plastic drop cloth or tarp placed beneath the tree during applications can be helpful in preventing any problems.
6) Fertilize the tree using an appropriate fertilizing schedule.

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
