Right lads and lassies, I have finally got round to clearing out the old tomato haulms etc. which had fungal spores all over them.
previously I used to light a smoke bomb to disinfect the g'house but so far all I have found online are ones to kill insect pests which I am not bothered about as I can deal with them in other ways.
I am primarily concerned with disease control.
I know I can spray Armillatox or Jeyes fluid all over but a smoke bombe is easier and less messy.
Q. Does anyone know of a reliable one and where from?
Cheers, I await with bated breath any response from our experienced experts.

I'll get around to it eventually

Available from any decent garden centre.

Not used one for a few years so don't know how effective they are these days. I just try and keep the place "clean".....
