Allow to cool and settle. The clear, amber fluid remaining after filtering is lime sulfur. It's probably cheaper and easier to purchase a prepared product. Lime sulfur should be avoided on sulfur sensitive plants when leafed out such as grapes, apple, pear, blueberry, currants, gooseberry, apricot, brambles and vine crops. Damage include scorching, dwarfing of leaves, premature defoliation and reduced yields.
Lime sulfur is used as a dormant spray only.
