I must say we have been using both purple and blue sprays, think I'll have a re-check on exactly the make of the blue we are using.

u need to read the active ingredients.

excuse my ignorance, is it the lime that u put on fields or something else?

I'm wondering if i put wood ash on the wet ground would that help?

Woodash would be good if anyone knows - plenty from those woodburning stoves to dispose of. I sprinkled the lime yesterday - wasn't sure how much so used what I thought looked right and Aunty Gherty's toes are clearing up very well thanks to the new medication (very impressed with that actually). All's well for Christmas it seems, lets hope it lasts into the new year.

Good news. Hope she's soon skipping about.

Engymycin spray, lime on the muddy bits and the goaties are jumping for joy literally. Haven't seen them all so animated for ages, all butting each other like mad. All is well, thank you everyone.
