Wanting to mak White Oil ( callled Dormant Oil in US)
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 dj 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. |

Have a look at his website. IIRC he mixed something like canola oil and water, and just whipped them to a white frenzy with an ordinary kitchen blender. His mixture had to be sprayed straightaway before the oil and water start to separate. I believe he said any of the light edible oils could be used. -- John Savage (news address invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |

Peter Cundall, the presenter of Gardening Australia, also presents a
radio show. Below is a link to a story on that radio show regarding home made white oil. http://www.abc.net.au/brisbane/stories/s780287.htm Also try http://www.thewaterwisegarden.com/bicarb.htm Water wise garden has a recipe to treat powdery mildew and blackspot, plus one for white oil. Hope I've been some sort of help. "John Savage" wrote in message om... "DeeJ" writes: White oil Spraying time - found a recipe for making your own but was in foreign language ( US).

I've tried the bicarb and it does help, but I read somewhere it's not a good idea to use it a lot because of the sodium it adds to the soil. Jane |

I actually had found the recipe by Mr Cundell, and some by one or two others, but it is always good for other posters to mention useful sites. Not everyone reading newsgroups has cheap access to the web, so although most people can go to a given URL, not all can indulge their own search engine investigations as thoroughly as is often needed. -- John Savage (news address invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |
