Since I had tomato blight last year in my G/house I will presuambly stand a good chance of getting it again. With what should I clean the inside?

Jeyes Fluid is good. I use that in my tunnels.

Dear Brooklynodog, if you grew them in the soil in the greenhouse, i think i would change it for new.

I agree Tigger... I use a five litre pump up sprayer so that I can jet into all the crevices with the Jeyes..

I can pretty much guarantee that both the greenhouses and myself will be pest free this year :wink:

Dear Weed, i happen to know a young lady that loves the smell of Jeyes, i might send her round to you. :lol: :wink:

Just use grow bags, as the base is slabbed. I did put the contents of the bags on the garden though. Was this silly?

I don't think the contents of the bag should worry you too much rather than the disposal of the infected plants themselves, or were they the contents? :)

Rotten job cleaning greenhouses, sticky and wet! I found using a 'Superspray'to be just the job, works like a miraclegrow hose end feeder but you can put anything in it.

I fill the thing with Jeyes and give the inside a good blasting. dilutes as you spray, no buckets only a hosepipe. Then for the outside, a squirt of stardrops and top up the bottle with water to get it nice and soapy then hose it onto the roof and walls of the glass inside and out. Go over with a soft broom and rinse. You dont get wet or smelly and you keep your feet on the ground. Have a look on www.superspray.co.uk only a tenner! good value for money
