We can blame it on the EEC (or what ever it's present name is)
All chemicals have to be retested and for many firms the cost is not

worth
it for a lot of the chemicals used in the Armature market.
Its not all that much better for the professional.
And then its also down to this "Nanny State" where Rose clear was

removed
from sale as One Fool managed to get concentrate into his/her eye and

it
caused Irritation.... no lasting damage....... but ..... in something

like
12 years of use it was the first incident reported..
So it's back to things like Bordeaux Mixture (Lime and Sulphur)

Copper
Etc
Will have to dig out my old books...


has anyone got any recommendations of what product to use on food stuffs

or
are they all much the same?


One thats recomended & licenced for use on vegetable and for that
particular pest. They all have labels that you should read before use.

Anything specific in mind??


densley packed plants with mildew - lemon balm and something that for the
minute escapes me to name. Also black spot on a climbing ros thats nr
rosemary.
