Disinfecting plant pots?

[longers]

Should I?

Do you?

Jeyes Fluid?

 

[zacklaws]

I just make a solution of Jeyes fluid in a bucket and give my pots a dip in it and leave to dry. What's left in the bucket I spray all over the green house.

Don't know if it makes a difference but it cannot do any harm, makes the greenhouse smell like a portaloo though

Jeyes.

 

[scots_lass]

Weak solution of Jeyes fluid. Makes the greenhouse smell all clean and dandy as well as the pots.

And you can put the pots in the dishwasher if your wife is away for the weekend. Or so I've been told....

Yeah, you can do a multi-wash with the bike bits. Apparently!

Definitely Jeyes Fluid, but not too strong.

I put pots which are going to be used for seeds in the oven at 110 degrees when the wife's not looking. Should kill any mollusc or insect eggs which have survived the Jeyes Fluid.

Our kid got rumbled for puting the crankcase of his JAWA engine through the dishwasher t'other week.

I scanned this and 'translated' the OP as "Disinfecting pants..."
Honest slip of the eye guv.
(I suppose it fresia up a bit for future growth though )

That'll be using Longers Fluid though. See men, what I did there?

Due deferens to you Rich. You sure know how to handle these sort of topics - just a cut above the average seed sower. Horticulture?

Horticulture?

Maybe, but you can't make me think.

Thanks for the replies advising the Jeyes fluid, ta. Hopefully I'll be growing a bit better this year as a result.

I've never bothered - I just hose them out and leave them stacked upside down. I don't recall this ever causing a problem - have I been particularly lucky?
