  • Can you eat potatoes soon after they were sprayed with Bordeaux mixture?

    My husband was spraying early potatoes a few days ago cos there was a blight warning and decided to spray those in our tunnel as well. They are flowering and nearly fit to dig I think. But do I have to wait a few weeks now or does it matter? Can they be eaten straight away? Thanks!

    Does it not say on the packaging of the Bordeaux mixture? (or is yours like mine and too faded to read)
    Happy Gardening,

      Bordeaux only prevents the blight fungus sticking to the leaves it done nothing to the plant or the potatoes

          We make up our own! One pound washing soda mixed in half gallon hot water and added to half pound Copper Sulphate mixed with 4 and a half gallons cold water. The Copper Sulphate comes in a 5 pound bucket got at local chemist. Thanks for the replies!

            It's available in most garden centres. Don't use it myself as I don't use chemicals etc so can't check a bottle, sorry.

            Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

            Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
