Cleaning up the greenhouse

[meg_gordon]

I've had a good summer with my first greenhouse - learned a lot.  Although I was lucky enough not to get blight, some of the tomatoes and leaves did get covered in a grey mould, and I had to throw them out.  I am now wanting to clean up ready to put some winter lettuce, radish etc - I am going to use a smoke tin and a good washing out with Armillatox, but is there anything else I should do with the stone chips in the borders?

Apart from washing the glass/scrubbing the polytunnel I do very little else-and I haven`t used `smoke` for many years now.

I like the spiders that live there and a bit of soft soap now and again seems to deal with any white fly.

But maybe I`m just lazy/lucky?--no disease problems at all((I wish I had not posted that--next year I will probably get the lot ;D)

Thanks for coming back to me Cleo - it was the grey mould stuff I was worrying about - incase spores were snuggling into the stone chips in the borders.

I use a steam cleaner in mine, kills everything and uses no chemicals.

Fantastic idea - I have one of those in the loft - I'll dig it out later today.  Thanks flowerofshona2007
