Title: Smoking

Not nipping to the Greenhouse for a fag.

As a kid I can remember each year my Father would set off a smoke bomb in the greenhouse to kill any bugs or mites.
Do people still do this ?     if so where do I get one.

I use one of these in spring after washing the greenhouse down, you do have to remove any plants you have inside before you light it.
Selections » Deadfast 300g Greenhouse Sulphur Candle (http://www.selections.co.uk/product/deadfast-300g-greenhouse-sulphur-candle/)
Other suppliers if you search online :)

Do the same as Mum - usually, for some reason forgot this year!
