If you are like us and wanting to cut down the toxic load around your house you might want to try this spray. We have some problems with fungus on our hydrangea bushes at this time of the year and are reluctant to spray with a commercial chemical. So last year we gave this spray a go, after we had removed the old flowers and removed any dead leaves. We wanted to give the bushes a chance to rejuvenate and grow for the next season. I believe that there is less mould this year, even though we are in humid February and we have had a lot of rain.

Why not give it a try!

What you will need:

30 drops each of the following Essential Oils:

500 mL spray bottle
