LIME SULPHUR RECIPE
To one and a half pints of water (.8Ltr) add two ounces (57Grams) of hydrated garden lime and bring to the boil stirring slowly.
Add three ounces (85 Grams) of Flowers of Sulphur a little at a time and make sure that the solution is stirred continuously and kept at a gentle boil.
After a while the Sulphur will disappear and the liquid will turn yellowish brown.
The Lime takes longer to dissolve, often leaving a residue. When it seems that no more is going to dissolve, allow to cool, drain off the liquid and filter through an old nylon stocking into marked storage bottles, well stoppered.
As the above is taking place a certain sulphuric smell is inevitably given off. If this interferes with domestic harmony you may prefer to buy some.
