My poor tree! what is BT and what is miscible oil? where do I ...

what is BT and what is miscible oil? where do I get them? both in article about organic pest control. Also, just bought my home, and the apple tree already shows heavy bearing of good size fruit that as red dots all over the fruit, i assume that moths have laid eggs. Tree has been neglected for 3-4 years needs serious pruning badly also. should i just spray first, then snip all the fruit off and throw it out now so that there are less pests to deal with? Then continue to spray through summer and in the fall, then do a dormant trim of the tree and resume spraying in the end of winter? have i got that right? never had an apple tree, landlords always took care of them. this summer i have to deal with immediate major repairs to my home, the garden will be next years focus, since it is already so late in the season, but want to do hat i can now to reduce the trouble for next year.

Bt is one of the oldest bacteria used to control insect problems naturally. What u need to do is first cut ALL of the dead or the 'diseased' branches. Then u need to inspect for ANY worms or insects. Then u spray. i suggest feeding it plant food and then giving it a lot of water. Yes u should spray through summer and in fall and at the end of winter. heres my email if u have trouble. nickym16@yahoo.comSmile
