Was chatting with the O-san at the nearby bonsai nursery today and happened to notice that he didn't have any lime sulphur for sale. When I asked him about it he informed me that he can only buy 10 or 18L jugs now as the smaller ones are not legal for sale anymore. Apparently people were mixing it and vinegar to create some kind of suicide gas?

Anyway, wondering if there is any alternative for preserving jin & shari features on junipers and the like that might be more readily available in Japan? I can buy the big jugs but with only a couple of trees to play around with, it seems kind of ridiculous.

Thanks.
