Sprays only hold the big "B" at bay.... if you have a fairly large potato patch it would cost a bomb and you'd need to repeat spray every few days.

As for which chemical to use? I think the old stand-by reliable is now banned and an alternative introduced.

DD mentioned this in one of his posts a while back but I can't remember which. 

Where are you DD?? Is there anyone there?  :blink:

If you're referring to Bordeaux Mixture, it is legal to sell until 28 Feb 2013, and legal to use until 28 Feb 2015.

I assumed Paul was referring to Dithane, which DD always uses

I think you're right.  Couldn't think what else it might be except B Mixture

Dithane is the one I was thinking of. I bought a pack a few years ago but decided against using it. As far as I can recall DD said it was no longer available or had been banned.

(I could well be wrong...how unusual that would be  )

No, you're right.  Dithane's licence expired at the end of 2011 so it's no longer legal to use.

No, you're right.  Dithane's licence expired at the end of 2011 so it's no longer legal to use.

I'll be in trouble again (how unusual  ) if ever I find where I've put it.
