Michael Phillips and The Holistic Orchard

Growing a small-scale orchard of tree fruits and berries is something virtually anyone can do, given a bit of space and desire, and the willingness to observe and learn from nature. In this groundbreaking new book, orchard guru Michael Phillips (The Apple Grower) takes readers "beyond organic" and into the universe of holistic growing practices—a place where backyard and small commercial fruit growers maintain a balanced orchard ecology and don't just substitute hard-hitting organic sprays for chemical "controls."

A friend of mine has recently purchased a large amount of land, and have purchased your books. We hope to employ the Integrated Pest Management System. We are in the very early stages of this process, as in we haven't done anything yet, we are trying to do research in hopes that we can avoid beginner's mistakes (sometimes inevitable). Any tips on what we can do to avoid obvious mistakes?
