Yes, it's been mentioned on here several times over the last few months.  I'll wait for the shed police to turn up in Oct next year!

But I'm not doing anything illegal, unlike my local hardware shop who were still selling Derris Dust last Saturday.

It's only being banned because it wasn't a high value enough product to submit to all the expensive testing that was needed for EU regulations, wasn't it?
