Hi Elaine,

At last you're getting down to my level...

WHY are you using the lime sulfur?

We have ~100 heritage apples and pear, plum, cherry, walnut, filbert,
oak trees on one acre of wild meadow. We have sprayed dormant oil every
year and I'm going to have trouble getting my husband to stop because of
TENT CATERPILLARS. We occasionally add lime sulfur for CEDAR APPLE
RUST. Our orchard is surrounded with cedar trees. Will CT do it? How
many applications would we have to make?

Brew with kelp, humic acid, fish hydrolysate (one ounce each) and a
coupledrops of ferric citrate (reduces E. coli).

Is fish hydrolysate just fish fertilizer that you make into a spray?
Where do I ask for ferric citrate--at a garden supply or at the feed
store where I can get trace minerals?
