Illegal garden substances
I was clearing up my mother's garden shed and noticed a lot of bottles
and packets of what are now considered to be illegal products (for example, the original Jeyes Fluid, Cutlass, and an old B&Q weed and feed) Does this make her a criminal and if so, can we expect a raid from the 'Plant Police' ? __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com The Worlds Uncensored News Source |

Depends if you want to be paranoid or not. Are you considering making some sort of political point? __________________________________________________ ___________________ __________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - [...] Personally, I don't have to pay seven bucks to post to Usenet; but, hey, it's your money! -- Mike. |

Just wondered about the legal position. No politics, no gripes, just
curiosity! Seven bucks is a lot of doe (geddit!!??), but as my ISP doesnt have a newsfeed I need to go somewhere. Suggestions most welcome because its a few pints a month!

When clearing up my father-in-law's outhouses (yes, plural), I eventually uncovered two largely full rusting 5 gallon drums of tar oil winter wash and creosote. Does this make her a criminal and if so, can we expect a raid from the 'Plant Police' ? Not as far as I know. But it would if they were some other substances. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Some things could be used (out of licence) but wear eye protection (several formulations were made illegal because morons used them as eye wash or drank them to commit suicide). Unless it is something really nasty and/or carcinogenic the least environmentally damaging solution is to use it up according to the instructions. Legally you should take it for safe disposal. Most local authorities provide something for toxic materials at their waste disposal sites. Stored carelessly they may well be deactivated by hydrolysis anyway. Does this make her a criminal and if so, can we expect a raid from the 'Plant Police' ? The scariest things I ever encountered doing this sort of thing we An evil looking corroded container in my late uncles garage that turned out to contain mega concentrated washing up liquid (sans dye). An innocent looking but aging and brittle 5L plastic pink parafin container in a greenhouse that on careful inspection turned out to be full of 35% HF ("glass cleaner"). I put it down again very very carefully. Had it ruptured I would be dead. Specialist disposal required. The HF *safety* film is notorious for causing lost time accidents. * * AFAIK HF is not offered for sale to the public in the UK. (but it was to grape growers in Belgium) Regards, Martin Brown |

I remember seeing (probably the same?) HF safety film - probably one of the grossest things I have ever seen! JB |
