Have I ruined my garden with anti fungal copper?
I’ve been spraying my squash plants with Captain Jack’s copper octoanate to prevent powdery mildew. I guess I fell for the false belief that organic=safe. I started reading last night that antifungal copper can cause Parkinson’s and that levels build up in the soil forever. Aaaah! Anyway, I can’t tell how much I messed up as lots of other sources say it’s safe as long as veggies are washed before eating and kids don’t come into contact with wet copper spray. Anyway feedback? Thanks!
