Dear all,

At last the rain stopped today and I blasted the greenhouse inside and out
with the jet washer. It has got to be one of my very favourite gardening
tasks, once the plants and gubbins has been removed that is!

Last year I put some suitably diluted Jeyes Fluid into the washer and gave
the inside a heavy 'hose' down too.

Some time this year believe I noticed on a newsgroup that Jeyes had 'gone
out fo fashion' - but I didn't see all the thread / story behind this.

Today therefore I just added some more water and did a rather half-hearted
(more diluted) spray after the main blast with water.

Is Jeyes now considered 'off limits' for greenhouse use for some reason?

NB I am asking AFTER spraying here... so that I may have an excuse to jet
wash all over again!

Sad, I know... but happy.

Keith

It does have that nice clean smell doesn't it. The sort of clean that your
ancient grandmother advocated. Enough of the reminiscing.

"Jeyes Fluid will remain on the market after 31.12.03 as disinfectants, but
they will no longer be permitted to be used for pesticidal purposes."

Doesn't that just mean it's not 'permitted' by the EU - rather like you're
not 'permitted' to use Fairy Liquid to spray aphids with?

Does that mean I'm likely to go to prison?

No. It means it is not permitted by law in UK. (Huge snip)

Only because we have too many Civil Servants and because they have nothing
better to do they pass their time blindly following every silly rule that
with common sense should not be applied to every case, unlike in France
where their priority is to protect their way of life and do what their
people want. Ever found a restaurant if France that keeps their cheese at
the EU legal temperature, ie. cold? No, it's always at room temperature.

Probably Jeyes can't or won't afford huge cost of the animal testing needed
to continue it's use as an insecticide and get a MAFF number, rather like
Armillotox.

With all the pesticides etc taken off the market, personally I'm beginning
to wonder if it's all a plot to stop ordinary people growing veg for
themselves.

I think so, Sacha. Will someone remind me, what is it you're not allowed
to use Armillatox for, again?

Officially you *can't* use it on most things
http://www.armillatox.co.uk/
but this site tells you what it could be used for
http://www.armillatox.com/

I do not use the stuff. Very misleading information. Although supposedly
natural occurring the phenolic nature of the product makes it undesirable
and it is banned for it's original uses.
