Now hold the phone.  I have heard that Holland has been experimenting with
this concept.  Is there any merit to it?  Do most Heavy Hitters do this?
Is there any way to really know that this helps. Like pruning tendrils does
it really make a signifcant contribution.  Is this like foliar feeding,
they once thought that,it was a must, now they say it really doesn't do
much. except for roll off the leaves to the ground and to the roots.  I
used to foliar everyday with a light appication then this year stopped it
didn't seem to matter at all.  Anyone with any hearsays or any info please
help.
