Time to start dormant sprays

Glad to see it’s again that time of the year to start dormant sprays. Copper and dormant oils are very helpful in my orchard . I just recently started using dormant sprays more with impressive results. See this article as a great place to get started if your not currently using dormant sprays http://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/dormant-sprays-can-help-reduce-pests-disease-home-orchards.
