Yes, that's right.  It can't be used as a soil sterilisant, but is fine for general purpose disinfectant.

thank you for all you comments and links.

i think the plan is cut off any signs of blight and pray for the best while we're away.  and then see what we come back to.

after all the crops are gone get the jeyes fluid on it (its done wonders for the mossies in the water butts!)

maybe so the sulphur thing as well - where do you get the sulphur stuff? and what is it?

That's right - staging, glass, frame all the other bits and bobs in the greenhouse... but not the soil - Dig it out and replace it or slab it over.

"where do you get the sulphur stuff?"

From any decent garden centre, there are several brands, but all the ones I have seen are in tins rather like a small Golden Syrup tin.  You lever the lid off and there is a wick inside.  Light the wick and retire promptly closing the door.  Soon the greenhouse will be full of billowing white clouds...

There will be instructions on the tin.

Cheers,

Gillie
