Okay, 'get a copper' seems the way to go !

I'll look for a copper spray, whatever that is, thanks


You would use copper spray for leaf curl on peaches but a bit of
copper wire from the centre of an old piece of plastic covered wire
from the tip would work as well and may be cheaper (if you can beat
the tip recyclers to it given the price of copper at the scrap
merchants these days).
