I remember my grandad had a beautiful garden, and always seemed to be using
"Jeyes Fluid". At least once a year EVERYTHING got done (soil as well). How
much should I dilute it to be safe but still effective!
Thank you.
Maria.

The proper dilution rate is on the package. One Web source suggested
1 ml of Jeyes per 1 Liter of water.

Jeyes is potent stuff and can cause damage if misused. It is
essentially tar derivatives diluted in neutral oil and is a strong
disinfectant.

tar derivatives?!! Sounds like Dandruff shampoo ;-)

Must be a UK product? Never hoid of it.. or anything like it.


Similar US products might be phenol based products such as Lysol or Lestoil.
