Bordeaux Mixture

[Frank97]

Good afternoon all,
Does the above need to dry on the plant? I've just sprayed my peach tree, as the sun was out, surprise surprise, it's now pouring down. So do you think I'll have to re-do it?

Excellent, just what I wanted to read. Thanks Boxtops!

Glad to help, I don't use it myself but I remember my dad doing so!

First time for me, hope it does what is says on the container, but I won't hold my breath! ;-)

No place for Bordeaux mixture - evil stuff. Let's hope the rain has washed it away before anyone gets poisoned.
