Thanks!MIX IN BUCKET OR JUG FIRST BEFORE PUTTING IN SPRAYER TO AVOID CLOGS.
Mix lime and water FIRST to dissolve lime BEFORE adding copper sulfate.
For spraying in small amounts, prepare as above but only mix 1 gallon (3.5 L) of water, 3 1/3 tablespoons (50 ml.) of copper sulfate and 10 tablespoons (148 ml.) of hydrated lime. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before you spray.
USE WITHIN 2 HOURS. Shake sprayer often to keep mixture from settling.
For larger amounts, you can find a scaled recipe here - https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/diy-bordeaux-fungicide.htm
I cut the bottom off the cheap pots that annuals come in.I just saw that cutworms nipped two of my bok choi plants off at ground level. I gently dug in the soil around the plants but didn't find the little suckers. I need to make some cutworm collars out of some of my Red Solo Cups.
