Default Balls of whitewash

The message
from Serendipity contains these words:

When I was a nipper I remember my Grandfather - who was a
farmer in a small way in Gloucester - using balls of whitewash
(limewash?) on the walls of the cowshed, and a walled garden.
It was extremely effective. I've recently acquired a long old brick
wall and would like to use Grandad's method to make it presentable
but when I ask around all I get is blank looks.


Anyone any ideas please?


Limewash is still used on historic buildings; try a DIY or building ng.

Janet.
