Making up Bordeaux Mixture

[peanut]

Can anyone help?

I've got some bordeaux mix and according to the bottle you mix 35g of the powder with 1.5ltrs of water for using on Potatoes/Toms etc. The trouble is it doesn't come with a measure.

How much is 35g all my other measures are in ml!!! Is it a teaspoon, desert spoon? Does anyone out there know!!!??

Thanks in advance

Do you have kitchen scales? You could weigh it on that.

Not sure how dense bordeaux mix is, but a tablespoon of salt is about 25g.

I might be a proper nerd and work it out later; what is again copper sulphate and lime? anyone know the proportions?

About 6 teaspoons. Mix it in another container and decant it to the spray bottle as it can be a little lumpy at the bottom and block the sprayer.

I use about half a teaspoon in a pint. (Not my beer

Where the application rate of fertiliser/grass seed etc calls for 35g per square metre...........it's a small handful to the square metre/yard!

Thanks everyone for your help.
I contacted Vitax yesterday and they replied this morning apparently its approx 1 heaped dessert spoon, they are also sending me a measuring scoop!!!
