Any have any experience of using Jeyes fliud to sterilse soil?
If seems pretty deadly stuff.


ISTR that some time ago the chemical composition of Jeyes was changed
because of some EU war on chemicals and became less effective on
things like moss.

In any event, it's no longer sold as a soil sterilant. AFAIK it hasn't
been banned as such by the Eurocraps but it's a case that the
manufacturers didn't want to fork out for the necessary licences and
so can't market it for that purpose.
