I discovered recently that, (at least here in NS, Canada), one can buy large 
bags (1kg. - 2.2 
lb.) of copper sulphate in the local agricultural co-op store, but not in the 
horticulture section.  
You go to the animal husbandry section and ask for it.  It is used by people 
raising hoofed 
animals, who scatter it on the ground for the animals to walk through to 
treat/prevent hoof 
diseases.  A 1 kg bag was around $13.
