Bordeaux mixture is merely copper sulphate and lime (or is it sulphur?)
Whatever. It is essentially just natural and common chemicals.

Ho Hum, guess I'll have to go back to the rock hard tasteles muck they
sell in the supermarkets.

Thus ensuring that you maintain your pesticide intake ....

Fair point Nick and don't think I don't know it but as my crop is now
a smouldering pile of ash I don't have much chioce really, unless I
stop eating tomatos altogether which ranks with stopping drinking beer
in the 'undesirable life situation' catagory.

Don't suppose anyone would have a spare 20lb or so of delicious home
grown tomatos going begging would they ... I can 'collect' (ho ho,
like that's going to happen)
