  • Spraying - how often?

    I'm currently using three sprays.

    Glyphosate for the mad weeds in the back of the plot.
    Vitax Organic 2 in 1 Pest and Disease Control for the various flies. You should see them fly away when using this stuff!
    Bordeaux Mixture for blight.


    I used all of them, for the first time this growing season, within a couple of hours before a huge downpour yesterday. Would you spray again within the next couple of days, in that case?

    How often do you spray?

    All three sprays should be alright if they had dry weather for about an hour after spraying.
    Glyphosate will kill everything green (except clover) that it touches so you need to be very careful of spray drift. Leave it for seven days and then reapply to ensure total clearance.
    Vitax - don't know but read the instructions and that should let you know.
    Blight control - don't use Bordeaux mixture but atties up here (including mine) are sprayed every ten days, using two different chemicals alternately.
