    Hi Greg, as a newbie myself i have picked a few tips up from the good folks on here.
    A good wipe down with jays fluid seems to be the bleach to use get in all the nooks and
    crannies should help to keep the little beasties at bay!
    Also i am going to put a few cloves of Garlic on the shelves a tip from a friend of mine,
    you can only try these thinks see if they work, i would wipe the g/h down about a week before you put your seedlings in.
    Hope thats of some help, good luck with your growing this year.

    paul.

      yups, ***** fluid or armillatox should do the trick but it's amazing how much good a wash with a bucket of water with some washing up liquid in it does also.

        Hot water, washing up detergent & a scrubbing brush are all you need

            Only really necessary for a huge gh or if you can't reach to scrub all the areas. I'll go without and spend the £7 on seeds
