Some of the cutting-edge topics he explores include: the use of kaolin clay as an effective strategy against curculio and borers, as well as its limitations; creating a diverse, healthy orchard ecosystem through understorey management of plants, nutrients, and beneficial micro-organisms; and how to make a small apple business viable by focusing on heritage and regional varieties, value-added products, and the 'community orchard' model.
