From what he said, he didn’t get any disease issues inside the bag, even on peaches. He mentioned some problems on those he didn’t bag, but I’m not sure if it was scab, spot or brown rot.
He came by today and dropped off 100 of the bags in the way that he’s been preparing them. Looks like quite an involved process, but I’m definitely game to give them a try.
These bags are quite small, but he said that this helps reduce the number which fall off, pulling the fruit with it. Also, the bags are stretched a bit by the fruit and can eventually get torn by the larger apples.
Steps to make:
1.) He takes the snack bags (half the height of a sandwich bag), and cuts them in half.
2.) Seal the seam with a torch
3.) Cut off the corners
4.) Cut the extra off the top
5.) Make a notch for the stem
