So is this malarkey with Jeyes Fluid in yer greenhouse strictly necessary? and if so - will it work with cold water?
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I almost certainly gonna be told of for this, but I think it isn't, if you didn't have any serious diseases you can just clean up with soap. :lol:

I'm gagging to clear out me greenhouse, but the tomatoes, beans (late sowing of dwarfs in July), chillis, peppers, aubergines just won't stop producing, so I can see me out there in December with a bucket, sponge and mop.

soap wont kill any blight or mould spores .jeyes will and yes it werks with cold water .. use a 5 litre sprayer .(£10 each ) 1 cap per 2 litres .then just spray and allow to dry .i spray and aslo then use a sulphur candle  i dont have problems until about now  when the cold damp air brings  mould on... i just cut out bad leaves etc with the crappy weather as it is this is the first year i have had it hit ,i still have flowers and loads toms on the plants in october that is unusual for me here  :)

Thanks Munty
Would you wash the seeds trays and pots in the same stuff? I was thinking if just dunking them in a bucket of cold diluted Jeyes.

Well I Muntied my greenhouse today - I never realised I had so many seed trays.
I hope the smell goes down a bit.
Still it's all tidy now, just waiting for action.

Once my toms in the greenhouses go, then the Jeyes will be out, but I've got carrots and perpetual spinach in the tunnel, so tht'll have to wait, but after getting the blight, it will defo be jeyes later on!!!!
