Well people, just wondering does anyone here use " Bordeaux mixture " or " Burgundy mixture " as a blight control spray ? And how would you rate them ? |

Thanks for the link it's an informative yet worrying read. I'm planting quite a few spuds this year : Roosters, Kerrs pink, King Edward, British Queens, Duke of York, Homeguard and I'm trying unsuccessfully to find some Champions. I was hoping to use copper sulphate but I hear now it's illegal to mix it for home use. |

At the moment you can buy copper sulphate mail order from www.fruithillfarm.com or if you're near Kilkenny, Highbank Organic Farm Shop at Cuffesgrange. That's a lot of varieties! |
