Default Jeyes Fluid as weedkiller near wood?

Hi Eddy,

Just as a matter of interest (and this isn't meant to be rude) why don't you
buy a good wood preservative and a good weedkiller?

As a topic, it's been very interesting but I just wondered!!! No offence -
honest!

Regards,

John

Hi,

Would any of you recommend or warn against using a suitable solution of
Jeyes Fluid to deter grass and weeds growing alongside wood?

A friend has suggested it would be better to use Jeyes than usual
weedkillers because Jeyes, he says, is oily and it will help preserve
the adjacent wood (by keeping moisture out of it).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Eddy.
