I have mould growing on the inside of my shed roof - OH has told me to use bleach to get rid of it . But anyy idea how to stop this mould coming back once its gone? Are my seeds safe do you think and potaotes that are in the shed - should i move them??

You would get mould in damp conditions,

Is your shed roof leaking anywhere,you will have to find out if any water is getting in from somewhere.

If you simply get rid of the mould with bleach ,it will just come back again.

If the shed seems damp I'd be a bit careful of storing seeds or potatoes there in case they go mouldy as well.

Cheers Carl

What is the shed made of? Metal sheds are very prone to condensation. You can improve this by sticking some polystyrene ceiling tiles or similar bits of packing material to the inside of the roof.

I have a very old shed in my garden and the roof is starting to mould inside so I guess the felt is starting to deteriorate. I noticed the roof steaming the other day when the sun came out after a heavy shower!

I think I found the reason for the damp patches. cleaned out the shed today and found wet patches on the floor. I think there has been soil slippage and soil is against the shed and with all the rain this year its got quite wet. OH has dug around the shed to remove the soil so hopefully this will resolve. fingers crossed
