    Are you suggesting I am ram stam?:) You might be right!
    I will be removing the top couple of inches but into pots of plants for the plant sale. Just want to make sure I don’t kill off what I plant into it.

      Off out now to get the greenhouse cleaned inside. I have managed to cover the soil with plastic sheets and any of the Jeyes that does manage to get into the soil should be pretty diluted by the time the greenhouse is hosed off. I will not use the soil for at least a fortnight and then hope for the best. Thanks everyone for your input.

        I was advised to use jays fluid by a grandad where we used to live to stop cats looking in my garden borders to water with a diluted watering can of jeys fluid. This does not harm plants and it worked.
        so I would say No it won't hurt

              There aren’t too many worms in the greenhouse soil as I have been digging them up and feeding them to Bob Rob my pet Robin, the one I was worried I might blow up last winter:).
