Now that we can't get Sodium Chlorate what's the best (as in

You should probably have done a last time buy. You are not supposed
to use it any more though since ISTR 10/5/2010. Not sure why the EU
banned it - probably some halfwitted jobsworth interfering again.

Maybe you should use google to find the reasons before going off at
half cock?

The reasons are given here

There is very little information at that ref.

Did you read it? It is highly toxic to humans and animals breaking down
red blood cells, sterilises the ground and persists 6 months to five
years in the ground. Do your really want that getting into your water
supply?
