The chemicals expended from the burning candles make their way into the crevices and cracks chemical foggers do, but at little environmental cost -- sulfur candles are organic if you make them with organic beeswax. work just to avoid paying a bit more than a proper sulphur candle which always works at the first lighting and without having to be messed about.

and light a sulphur candle to wipe out any fungi or insect eggs that may be hanging around in the nooks and crannies. I filled the sprayer and covered the inside getting into all the little nooks and crannys then left it shut up for two days. Every year about now I clear all the stuff out of my greenhouse, sweep it out and give the glass a good clean inside and out. Although I have used a sulphur candle in the past , since having had cancer , I,m now very wary of this and slug pellets , chemicals and garden potions in general really . I like armillatox best of all as it also works as a fungicide and it softens any green algae that is stuck to the glass, then when I go back a few days layer the algae brushes of quite easily with my hose end brush.UK legislation requires approval for active ingredients used in all pesticides, including those for home garden use.

The retailers of garlic candles seem a bit reticent to explain how their product works, so I can only assume they use the fact that garlic itself is quite sulphur rich, so they probably work in a similar way to sulphur candles.But now its getting very difficult to source sulphur candles as they are now banned for use on plants as a pesticide although interestingly they still can be used as a greenhouse cleaner which is what I use them for. Avoid breathing the fumes from a burning sulphur candle as the Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) that is given off will irritate your nose and throat, irritation will also occur on the moist surface of the eye. Last year I had put some bulbs outside the greenhouse whilst it was being fumigated, unfortunately just by a tiny crack in the frame and the bulb foliage all frizzled up in the sulphur fumes.

I ended up taking a box of Swan Vesta matches and cutting the heads off and making a small pile of then with a line of more match heads to make a fuse them put the sulphur powder over the lot then setting light to the fuse line and the sulphur burnt almost out and three piles like that did a sixty foot polytunnel. Main use For the control of celery leaf spot, peach leaf curl, potato blight, tomato blight, apple and pear canker, bacterial canker of plums and cherries, rust on currants and gooseberries, cane spot on raspberries and loganberries. It is good practice to check in the shed on a regular basis to ensure such products are disposed of safely.I might have been lucky and due to get my comeuppance any day, but I am not convinced that amateurs need to go to great lengths with disinfectants. I use a sulphur candle about end of February when I first start sowing things seriously ind the cold greenhouse. Open the windows and doors after the candle extinguishes, and let the greenhouse air out for 24 hours.
