Yes, the veterinary lime sulphur is exactly the same product.Is the lime sulphur used in the veterinary world a similar product?
Hi-Yield is no longer available. I use this product. It is within 1% of the Hi-Yield concentration.purchase soil components (trying a slightly different mix this year)
Sift soils
Clean benches and pots
Purchase tie down wire if needed
Build any grow boxes if needed
Prepare top dressings
Lastly though it will be done firstly. I need to try a dormant spray again. Last year was a bit of a night mare for death in my garden. I’d like to utilize the Bordeaux mix that you have a thread for @markyscott but I can’t find a local source for lime sulphur anymore and I’m hesitant to purchase the tiny bottle sold as “bonsai lime sulphur”. Any suggestions on where to buy the high yield brand sulphur online? I can’t seem to find a source. Is the lime sulphur used in the veterinary world a similar product?

I use lime sulfur typically. I’m not sure which is more effective. I can only tell you that both have been employed for about century in agriculture.Scott, what are your thoughts on lime sulphur vs Bordeaux mix for dormant season spraying? Any advantage to one vs the other? Which do you currently use?
Well. I remember those days. But don’t worry. We’ll send spring your way as soon. As we’re done with it!Excellent suggestions, the tag with date repotted is very good idea.
My hardies are still buried. Notice, snow is deeper than seats of patio chairs in the background. My junipers and such are on the ground between the camera and the patio table and chairs. Hornbeam, Amelanchier, elm & sumac are the sets of twigs that are visible.

I do this with d-trees and azaleas. I don’t bother with junipers and pines. I remove it usually by late April, after 6 weeks.For those of you not doing it, I’d encourage you to consider putting down a bit of milled sphagnum on your soil surface. Make it part of your early spring work. It helps keep the soil surface moist, encouraging surface roots. I’m a believer.
That base looks just like lava ripples!
I haven’t tried it myself. I know that various professionals advocate differently on cultivating moss on your soil surface. I can see its benefits in keeping moisture levels up on the soil surface, but I can see how it might make it more difficult to decide if you need to water or not.Great thread markyscott! Thanks for providing the photos. What are your thoughts on green moss instead of sphagnum, to retain moisture and promote surface root growth? In your location that's not viable but further north it should elicit the same effect, no?
Good point, Brian - I don’t do it with pines or junipers either.I don’t bother with junipers and pines
Curious - why do you remove it? I find it very useful in the summer, when it’s really hot and dry here. I just leave it on all year and change it out when I do the soil cleanup at this time of year.I remove it usually by late April, after 6 weeks.
