I am unable to buy this at garden centres as elf and safety have banned
it, or so they say. However I can buy it off the net, doesn't make
sense. Is there a good source of it, I find that the postage cost on the
net are rather high?

It is banned as it can be used to make explosives. So you can thank
our Pakistanis friends for that.

Not sure. Stand to be corrected, but I think you will find it is the Irish
you need to thank

That is no longer true, it can no longer be used for that as it is
treated with a fire retardant.


Not normally their number 1 fan but on this occassion elf and safety had
a point, not only does it poison the ground but there was a tragic case
of a child incinerated down here after its use on grass, child was
playing on the area of dead grass when something ignited it.

I don't think terrorism was the reason as there are plenty of much
stronger fertilizer type chemicals still available.

If it were me I would buy Glysophate or one of the path clear types
