/rhubarb/

Looks good and healthy....makes a good rhubarb and pineapple jam

Makes good everything, as long as it's supposed to be rhubarby.

Also cleans off rust stains from enamel saucepans if you boil the
leaves. Then, quietly sneaking past the EC Police, you use the
leaf-juice to destroy aphids.

Info, please. I didn't know about this. Is it actually flat-out
verboten under all circumstances, or only commercially, or something?
(So many of these shock-hooorah-up-yours-delors deals seem to turn
out to be quite reasonable when you look at them at a safe distance
from the Daily Mail!)

It's not a tested (by them) insecticide, making it verboten - as was
soap, until the suds began to fly. They can come and watch me at it as
far as I'm concerned.

Gits.

simpleton's question....what method to extract the juice?...H

The message

/rhubarb leaves/

simpleton's question....what method to extract the juice?...H

Boil them and strain the fluid into a glass or plastic container. It
doesn't keep very long.

But surely that only means you can't sell it as an insecticide. You
can put anything you like on your own private non-commercial plants,
if you can get it; but I don't want some snake-oil salesman selling
untested stuff to the public. Hell, it's bad enough that they sell
people shredders, tasteless tomatoes, and sweet peas that don't
smell.

I think you'll find that you are not permitted to use it in your garden
for that purpose.

Blimey! I'd love to read the relevant regs (or maybe I wouldn't!):
have you got a link handy?

No - it was widely aired on GQT three or four years ago, and AFAIK
hasn't either been dumped or used.

Ummm, I think you need to sign up to my newsletter for that,,,
for which ther will be a small charge ,,

For starters : All those who think that pedantic insecticide pedants
live in "That Commision" or in "Our Queen's agencies", ( oh and that
aint the other queens and their agents that some shreddable people are
talking about), I think there are more pettyfogging pedants on usenet,
mesel,, dare I suggest some even in this newsgroup ? Perish the
thought.

For secconds : all those who can not expend the effort to trim quoted
text,,,, oh no not that old sawfly !
Or if they cant expend the effort to save us from scrolling to the
bottom of the post to see an idiotic one-liner, at least put the one
line at the top ,,, oh, why do I bother ,,, ?
