how to submit a growing tip




I grow an organic apple - and this is my method.
Applying plastic bag to an apple to grow it organically.
I snip both corners of the bag. 
A good brand of bag to use is Goodsense.
The rain will run into the bag - even with the zip all the way across.
The corners of the bag snipped to allow moisture to leave.
Before I apply the bags, I spray them with clay [example Surround]
Apple is sprayed with clay before being bagged.
The bag stay on until the apple is fully ripe.
