I recently found out that Jeyes Fluid- that all important disinfectant to clean all of your garden equipment- is being withdrawn and banned by December.

"Tar acids, an active ingredient of two general-purpose disinfectants with plant protection properties, are also on the withdrawn list. Rumour had it that Jeyes Fluid was going to disappear from the market rather than opt for expensive retesting.

"In fact, the company has dropped claims from its packaging that Jeyes Fluid can be used to kill moss and lichen, and for soil sterilisation. So gardeners can carry on using it for sterilising the greenhouse staging, cleaning slippery paths, disinfecting tools and pots, and all those other unpleasant jobs for which is it perfect."
