Patent leather – leather or synthetic which have a surface coating of PVC or polyurethane to give it a very high gloss finish. This finish reduces the ability of leather to breathe. Metallic/Pearlized – a finish applied to leather which gives the shoe a metal or pearl look. Patent care is recommended. Reptiles – The skins of animals such as snake, crocodiles or other reptiles, or an embossed leather or synthetic material to look like reptile skin. Patent care is recommended. Patent care can be used so as not to dull the finish. It will have a very high gloss finish but not patent. Suede – the underside of leather that is buffed and brushed, suede and nubuck are similar so same products can be used to clean and protect. A suede brush works best for cleaning suede.Īniline – leather treated with a clear aniline dye and wax finish. You can use a suede and nubuck or leather protector, clean using a suede and nubuck block. Nubuck – grain or smooth side of leather, it is buffed with an abrasive action giving a velvety feel. To avoid potential problems and save yourself from frustration and major headaches in the spring, it would be wise to give your sprayer a little bit of TLC. What you need: Leather protector, leather cleaning lotion, and polish in the same colour as the shoe.
#SPRINGIT SPRAY FULL#
Make sure to read all instructions carefully, and check with one of our garden advisors if you are still unsure.Nappa – full grain leather, soft and comfortable feel. Incorrect application, including using dormant spray after bud break, can also harm plants. Some plants can be harmed by the application of these products. Again, you will have the best results if the 24 hours following application are frost- and rain-free. In fall, dormant spray can be applied when the leaves of the plant have died or fallen off but when the temperature is still above 5☌. In spring, temperatures should be warmer than 5☌ (ideally 12-15 C for three or more days in a row with no chance of rain or frost in the 24 hours following application) but before the leaf buds start turning green, called "bud break." The timing of application of both these products is important. It also has a secondary effect on insects and mites.īoth horticultural oil and lime sulphur can be applied in spring and fall. When applied in spring, it will help prevent these diseases from becoming a problem during the growing season.
When applied in fall, lime sulphur controls overwintering fungal diseases. Lime sulphur is a fungicide. It is used primarily to prevent fungal diseases that affect fruit on trees, such as apple and pear scab. It works by smothering insects (or the eggs of insects) that overwinter in the bark of the tree. In this case, it is used to treat trees and shrubs that are particularly vulnerable to attack by insects like scale and mites. Horticultural oil is a great low-impact pesticide. When mixed together, horticultural oil and lime sulphur form what we call 'dormant spray.' The mixture is applied using a sprayer, which may be a hose-end, backpack, or hand-held model. Both these products can be used individually to treat a variety of health and insect problems in plants. At Peter Knippel Garden Centre, we often recommend dormant spray kits to prevent or control insect problems on trees and shrubs, and/or the effects of fungal diseases on fruit trees.ĭormant spray kits contain two products: Horticultural oil and lime sulphur. Prevention really is the best way to keep your trees and shrubs healthy, and healthy plants mean more time to enjoy your beautiful garden.Īpplying dormant spray is an essential part of good garden practice.
