tomato plants every year and always had bumper crops.

Now that Jeyes fluid has been "Withdrawn for plant protection
uses" to comply with EU rules, precisely which uses are we
actually allowed?

Its original use was to try to keep alfresco bucket and chuck it
lavatories under control.

I suppose I could look at the label on a new tin, but that isn't
what's in my garage.
