Bill,
Here in any garden center, up to a few years ago, I could buy "Combined 
dormant spray" where you mix lime sulphur with dormant oil in the same 
spray. Now, they don't sell it anymore because of some idiot regulation, 
and I have to buy a bottle of each. On the instruction, there is still 
written the dosage for the combined spray.

Why would you have to separate the 2 sprays by 2 weeks of time?
