Genny and List, Colliodal Copper is considered toxic to humans when taken in large amounts. But for plants I would like to hear something tested on that subject. We have entire farms effected by leaf molds which CS has a great effect on but some of the different types it only slows the progression. I will attempt to make some myself....I have a peach tree being destroyed by this mold and if this does the trick we could be on to something here!~ Getting away from the toxic chemicals Dow and others create for our environment and the slow poisoning of our water supplies as well as our selves has always been a concern for anyone who handles them. Would it not be strange to find another useful tool from this group which can help a food supply...even our own?
