I'm surprised you can still buy it as it was what we used to make very
large
very dangerous fireworks when we were kids (oh allright bombs then). I
will
refrain from mentioning the other key ingredients but I had thought that
most garden centres were discouraged from selling it years ago ?

On the packet of sodium chlorate it says "do not use near to

Does anyone have any advice as to how near is near?

In my view it would be extra limen sapientiae to use it at all.

Please take care. Sodium Chlorate is a good total weedkiller but with the
ability to creep~~ distances related to soil type and slopes etc. It can,
however, become not only explosive but 'high explosive'~~ Meaning that it
can readily explode, viciously, without compaction or restriction. To become
potentially unstable it has to be mixed with other substances~~ Unmixed it
is safe.
