don't mix. At Evesbatch Court Farm in Herefordshire the meticulously | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
planted Orchard could be hiding a sorry secret. With the wet winter, | :00:32. | :00:43. | |
the young trees, we are worried about the rainfall and we are | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
concerned we will not see the damage until the summer. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Amongst the tiny emerging btds some of the trees are showing a greenish | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
tinge, a possible sign of d`mage, if trees stand in waterlogged soil for | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
more than fourteen days the roots can be killed off. The trees take 15 | :00:58. | :01:05. | |

from heaven. It is a positive step for the government to do th`t. We | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
are price sensitive and it hs stopping consumers buying products. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
If we invest in the future, planting orchards costs a lot of mondy. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
