My word.
It's like being back in the school chemistry lab! Lesson 7: The effects of strong oxidising agents.
That reminds me. I may still have the remains of 500 g of ammonium sulphamate that I bought long since kicking about somewhere Very effective herbicide, degrades in a reasonable time and the end product is standard ammonium sulphate, the fertilizer.
Anyone still using Bordeaux mixture? Now that is a rather nasty throwback to times gone by!

Speaking of times gone by; I gang remember the days when the staple Gardeners aides were; DDT, Paraquat, and Nicotine.
I can remember foraging in the gutters for cigarette ends which were immersed in a bucket of water and the resultant fluid was used as an insecticide.
But then like now most people new the dangers of these products and handled them accordingly whereas the gungho types tended to overdo it thus giving these a worse name than they really deserved.. Then like always it was these few that caused the bad press.

I think I still have some from a few years back when I bulk ordered for the guys down the plot.
Stuff works though.

Time to take off and nuke em from space. It's the only way to be sure.
