hi all can anybody tell me if it is safe to use jeyes fluid to wash grass before putting down hard wood chips;
                many thanks

Last time I accidentally spilt jeyes on my grass it died!   

Why would you want to put hard wood chips on top of grass in a chicken run?

sorry should have said grass is nearly all gone and its getting a bit muddy , I thought it would make a good base for my chickens that could be hosed down now and then

Something like stalosan F which has been talked about on here for the past few days would be better to sprinkle around the almost grassless run before the wood chips!

Jeyes fluid used to be used as a soil sanitizer but that is no longer the case.  I think they advise against it now as the chemicals could potentially get in to produce grown in the soil.  Please correct me if I am misquoting.

thanks for all the replies I will get some stalosan to put down first
I find this a very friendly and helpful site

I think I read that Jeyes should not now be used on soil  - as in illegal. I could, of course, have got that wrong.
