I hate to think what a 5ltr can would cost (£40).

I guess you missed this thread its available from £18 per 5 litres it all depends where you buy it.

Blight is airborne so there is not much point in using anything to disinfect your soil. If the wind is in the right direction and the humidity correct then blight is likely to infect your plants. You can get blight warnings but by then it is too late most times to spray against it.

Whilst down the lottie yesterday, I was talking to another Ploth Holder, who told me to use Jeyes Fluid to disinfect my tomatoe patch, that unfortunaley succomed to blight.

My questions are  

A. Is this O.K to use - I'm trying to be Organic.

B If so, how do you apply it  - ie dilution rate.

I checked the price of 1ltr can in a local dealers (not garden centre) £9.99, and they're usually cheaper than garden centres (it's the only place I know where we get a discount on Wolf Garten tools).
