Hi All

Has anybody had any experience using horticultural soap?
I checked it out on amazon & its a bit pricey

Would it be ok to use washing up liquid? or is baby shampoo better?

Thanks peeps

Not entirely clear what you refer to - is the soap for cleaning your hands or as an insecticidal liquid?

a little fairy liquid in water kills green/black fly - although I have to say that it is not licensed as a pesticide in the EEC so it's illegal to use it..............................

really ?
the horticultural soap is ok to use without breaking the law though?

Yes but you must not wash your hands or dishes in it.

Have to carry on washing my hands with that left over DDT then

Some rules are weird, but I have to point them out - even if it's pointless

no probs... I understand

No need to use baby shamppo then.....not that i would, with it being illegal
