Topic: sulphur candles

[jock_edin]

I've spent a while trying to light a candle in my greenhouse.  Every time I thought I had got it started it went out.  I don't think I have a problem with draughts blowing it out but after several tries I gave up.

Anybody out there got any ideas and do you think they're a good idea for clearing greenhouse?

They can be b.....rs, can't they? Like nicotine shreds that we used to use. But we've never not got them to light in the end. Even to the extent of a new wick?

If you've been REALLY patient, complain.

Oh, and yes! But we also wash down with Armillatox. But that doesn't mean that that's the right approach! = Tim

l used to use armillatox for the control of vine weevil in my fuchsias, but  Tim am l not right in saying this is now a substance we cannot use due to some mad EEC directive.

Don't quote me but- yes, they are not allowed to say it's an insecticide/fungicide, or such, but it is now a 'patio cleaner' - along with Jeyes Fluid - and all the things we have held dear! What next?? = Tim

And I have to add that a lot of the stuff removed from the market was either dangerous or not sold in sufficient quantity to be worth the manufacturer applying for a very expensive licence to continue selling it and or was available under a different name.
