Can't afford pesticides around here.

Most locals are pretty hands off for super nasty treatments but eco copper sulphate is used . Eco, Jesus!

They aren't shy with synthetic fertiliser when not sourcing local manure but other than that this area has very good olive oil.

Nothing out of a packet goes on our trees. They are healthy enough living with groundcover and the chippings from pruning time. Beyond eco, but without the damned certificate from the eco mafia you can't sell eco or bio labelled olive oil.

Funnily enough I couldn't even sell my olive oil yesterday. They thought 8€ a litre was too much. Ho ho, let them eat euros then!
