Extract

In order to protect young apple trees, in the years immediately following planting, from competition for moisture and plant food it is a generally accepted practice to keep the area around the trees free of weeds. The traditional method of doing this has been to clean cultivate, the area next to the trees being kept clean by hand labour.
