Reply #94: Look at it this way when it comes to living next to apple orchards

[sherilocks]

I, too, lived in upstate NY surrounded by apple orchards. The insecticides that were sprayed on us constantly were the most noxious smelling stuff you can imagaine. I kept a small garden where the produce was raised without insectides and I had to keep it as far away from the orchards as possible. I was also afraid to drink the well water because of all the spraying. But I do miss those incredibly delicious mac apples and the cider from those orchards.
