    Blimey! Looking at that list of banned chemicals! I'd no idea Jeyes fluid was banned as a soil sterilizer since 2003. I must remember not to use it as such in the future although I'm sure some may accidentally spill on the soil when using it to clean out the greenhouse :o

              Oh those good old days when you could get high as a kite while running off 30 worksheets on the Banda in the school store room and get pretty happy correcting mistakes on Getstetner sheets or Tippexing your typos from your Remington typewriter. Producing text on a computer just doesn't give the same buzz:(

                One of the advantages of increasing age is that one has an excuse for forgetting to remember. I keep trying to remember that I shouldn't use Jeyes for sterilising the polytunnel or for spraying my fruit trees. I'm also trying my very best to remember to clear out all those nasty banned chemicals from the shelf in the shed.

                Edit - And following Dai's link to the 'withdrawn list' below, I must try to remember to get into our local GC and stock up on anything that's due to be withdrawn this year!
