Hello Apple-Croppers,
Has anyone experience on solving replant problems by using explosives?
We would like to learn a bit on that, before trying to deal with a
particular situation on an old apple orchard.

I had reporters calling by 8 a.m. Monday morning, hoping to get the
inside info about the severity of the damage to the state fruit crop.
The damage had occurred about 4 - 6 hours before I talked to them.
