David Hill No but it is part of "Bordeaux mixture" which is an anti-fungicide to prevent e.g. spud blight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordeaux_mixture It is a mixture of copper sulphate and lime which probably makes it more or less organic or maybe an organic gardening grey area. |

Judith My husband says that in the 19th Century in the UK, it was used for anti potato blight It was first noticed in Wales; that below a copper producing factory, none of the potatoes were diseased. Later on it was exported to Ireland where the Irish thought the British were trying to poison them! In fact copper salts are extremely effective in very low concentrations against mildews. It was used extensive in France even before that to prevent mildew on vines. We use it as an anti fungal on tomatoes and potatoes. Judith |
