Had to do a google search to figure this out...root killer (copper sulfate crystals, which we liquify and soak natural gourds in to retard rot.)

I use "Zep" brand in a canister from Home Depot.

Be careful you don't splash this stuff in your eyes.

Also be careful if you want to dump it. We stored our copper sulfate in a five gallon bucket with a lid, stored it at the very back of our property and reused it many times. We eventually became conserned about the bucket failing, but could easily dump it into the sewerage line.

Copper sulfate can be found in many home improvement stores, feed stores, etc.........Copper sulfate is copper sulfate.
