Re: make a paste?
Alan,
I have used Sulphur Dust....fungicide/miticide (Brand name is "Safer's")
92% sulphur content. During this season. I used it primarily for "rust"
spots that appeared early on, it worked great. I also applied it to cracks
on the vine, cull cuttings, and a gouge in my pumpkin. I used it in powder
form, and as a paste, but the package says that it can also be used diluted
in water. I have seen no ill effects from using the stuff.
Hope this helps...
Till next time...
