At every BSS Gathering many seeds and plant materials are shared
Answer to a question asked at our gathering:
"The easiest, safest and most useful organic-approved fungicides are based on cupric hydroxide. Cupric hydroxide controls a wide range of problems effectively, but unlike older preparations, like Bordeaux or lime sulphur, it can be used at any time. Do not substitute with copper oxychloride, which is not organic."
