Never heard of this - but the chap I inherited the shed from has left a large blue barrel which he had kept diluted millertox in. I was going to use it as a rain butt - but it smells really chemically.
Does anyone know what Millertox is and what it does.
By the way i am organic - but seems a waste of a barrel if i can wash it away without doing harm. Do think it will need several goes though.
Suzanne do you mean Armillatox?

Think you will find its actually called "Armillatox" and its an herbicide.
The last three letters are a bit of a give away.... :-X
I knew it was going to be something toxic - but not to what. He said he put it around the cabbage roots to prevent clubroot - so though it may be a fungicide.
Have read the link now, and looks like I could wash it out to get rid of residues.
Thanks all.
It was widely used as a "cure" for Honeyfungus.. :-\
It's not a herbicide, it's a sterilising agent which is used as a fungicide.
I do the Greenhouse with it each Spring.
A light spray of it is good at removing green algae from patio paving (don't rinse off) - it hasn't harmed the surrounding flowers and grass.
