I use Pestene. I've linked you to eBay UK. Shad prefers a spray but I haven't found one out here that works as well as the powder.

Thank you

I believe Pestene is sulfur powder which is available in the US. One brand is rather wonderfully called 'Brimstone'.

I'm in Oz, Penny but Marie is in England & given meds don't translate well from country to country I checked availability for her ~ but I didn't for the US. @RoyalChick seems to know though.

It's still a bit wet to tell. If it doesn't rain overnight and tomorrow which it shouldn't according to the weather people I'll be in a better position to tell. The worm load is good so that's promising. What it will grow what with the weather etc remains to be seen. It won't be like the veg garden in Catalonia, that much I'm pretty certain off.

A good worm load is always a bonus.

Royal chick is just amazing, if she can't find it, it doesn't exist anywhere. My head is thumping trying too find this.

Marie, the product Pestene that they use in Oz is a mix of sulfur powder (spelled sulphur in UK) and rotenone powder (known in UK as Derris).
I believe Derris/rotenone was withdrawn in the UK (ironic as it is an entirely plant derived product). However sulphur powder is very commonly used by gardeners and should be available in any garden centre.

So mixing sulphur with a little diatomaceos clay, should work as a mite preventive? (Please accept I'm no where near as savvy as you) .This hours of searching Knocks me out. Life has never been as difficult as it is now. I'm trying to prevent accidents. I'm literally shaking it's so stressful

I was trying to find a pure vit c supply without zinc and additives, again no information. I think serum may be the best. I'm in need of topping up supplies

Thanks so much for your input as always
