It is sometimes mentioned in old recipes for floor wash used by spiritualists to purify the home in the interest of keeping out evil spirits.
    Copper sulfate has had widespread use over the years to control roots in sewer lines. Although most plants need a small amount of copper to survive, a high concentration of the metal can injure the roots without actually killing the plants. Introducing copper sulfate into the sewer line is an effective and easy way to increase the concentration of copper in the sewer water and kill the roots. The usual method is to pour 1 or 2 lbs. of crystals into the toilet nearest the sewer line, then flush the toilet.

    Bordeaux Mixture is one of the oldest fungicides known to man kind and gardeners have been using it for over 150 years. Copper Sulfate could harm the plant itself and since Copper Sulfate is mixed with Lime, it doesn't harm the plant and works as perfect fungicide for plants.

    Dissolve 1 pound of Hydrated Lime in 1 gallon of water.
    2
    . Dissolve 1 pond of copper sulfate in 1 gallon of water.

    5
    . Add 2 cups of the copper sulfate solution to the 1 gallon sprayer.
    6.
    Fill up the 1 gallon sprayer with water.
    7.
    Shake the sprayer to ensure a good mixture.
    8.
    Clean out the sprayer with water after you are done...Bordeaux Mixture leaves a reside that can easily clog up a sprayer.
    Note:
    This recipe creates a 10-10-100 mixture. Some applications call for a 5-5-100 mixture, for that just put 1 cup of each solution into the sprayer instead of 2.
