Garden Disinfectants and Cleaners

Some parts of the gardeners equipment need to be sterile to avoid passing on fungus and bacteria.

Thanks to the European community not mall disinfectants are approved for garden purposes but this is how I continue to work in the garden.

Disinfecting and Cleaning

• Seed trays and plant pots are dunked in a solution of Jeyes fluid mixed with water in an old dustbin so I can do a batch at once.
• Blades of tools like secateurs and loppers are not treated as often as they should be and I have been recommended to wipe over with Methylated spirits.
• I am not going to use the ‘Which’ gardening advice of passing blades through a hot flame as it may take the edge off (but let me know if this works for you).
• I use Path Clear in early spring and if the moss and algae is heavy I have used farmers milking parlour cleaner.
• There is a citrus based disinfectant (Citrox) recommended for greenhouses that I will try this Autumn.

Liberon Garden Furniture Cleaner is ideal for cleaning old, tired and dirty wooden garden furniture and natural decking.

Honey fungus can not be treated with disinfectant and needs to be dug out and burned.
