    You've been at it again. Nestera international ambassadors. This time cleaning out your coops. As Shaun @ Happy days veg might say, you will be getting a whole load of fans scattered globally across the world. 😀

    Just found your site. Loved the content. The best how to clean the greenhouse video and I've watched more than ten today. How much sulphur powder did you use? I have a 8' x 8' aluminium greenhouse.

    • @EnglishCountryLife

      Thanks so much Patricia! I use about 300ml for a 12' x 8' so about 200ml (2/3 of a large baked bean tin) should be ample. 1 kilo of sulphur will do several treatments.

    Do you need to wash the inside again after the candle, or is it good to go? Do you have to worry about the spores being in the soil?

    • @EnglishCountryLife

      No need to rinse after the sulphur candle. The combination of Jeyes and sulphur dioxide will certainly disinfect the surface of the soil

    I don’t fully understand the transmission of tomato blight spores but would it be helpful to use the sulphur candle before clearing out the old plants from the greenhouse?

    • @EnglishCountryLife
      @EnglishCountryLife  5 месяцев назад

      It's an interesting thought but not really. The sulphur dioxide gas acts on the organic material so by removing and burning the old plants first we leave high concentration of the gas to get into hard to reach areas rather than get used up on the plants. Or at least that's the theory!

    Have you ever made coffee liquor? I have tried many times but it never seems to taste like "Kahlua" I would love to know how.
