Hi All,
White oil Spraying time - found a recipe for making your own but was in
foreign language ( US).
I have discerned that Mineral Oil equates to Liquid Parrafin here in
Australia ( I could be wrong)
I am not sure of what oil-based soap is - help requested
Figured out what water is!!!
The measurements have been interpreted thus: 1 Gallon ( presume US is
3.785 Litres, i Pound is 454 grams
cheers

RECIPE
--------
1 gallon mineral oil
1 pound oil-based soap
1/2 gallon water
Combine all ingredients, boil, and mix very well. Dilute 1:20 with water and
use immediately because the ingredients separate quickly.
Spray on a day when the temperature is above 40 degrees and you are not
expecting a freeze for at least 24 hours. Drench the branches of your shrubs
and trees thoroughly - it's impossible to overdo it.
For citrus trees, you should buy a special dormant oil from your garden
supply store. Citrus leaves can be damaged by the film that remains on the
leaves.
