lidl bio washing powder.liquid and moss/weeds
 
Having read others advice to use thse products for moos/weedkilling, I
have tried them out. As far as I can tell so far, all my roof moss dosed
with bio powder has died off and the drive weeds are following suit. I
find using the powder outside on paving is very convenient, as the wind
distributes it well! The liquid I dilute 1:5 with water before applying
it with a squeezy bottle to specific weeds. Has anybody else been
successful? I just need to find an easy method of applying it to the
roofs without walking on them. She has currently banned me from roof
walking!

Yes a small shot of bleach in it is also advantageous. My gardener swears by
it, no not at it.
Anyone know what the ingredient is is the main active element, I only ask
as back in days of yore, brown water from washing machines left on the lawn
used to make it actually grow better!

Did the brown water came from washing babies nappies or incontinent
granddads underwear in the days before disposable materials took over
?
