Dear EU-members, Yesterday I received a letter from a company with whom I ordered fertilizer in the past. They are supplying professionals but I could become a customer even though I am not a professional gardener. But from February 1st onwards there is a new EU regulation in force (2019/1148) which prohibits the sale of specific fertilizers to private persons. The fertilizers concerned are highly concentrated and contain raw materials which can be abused to produce explosives. Makes me think of the devastating explosion in the port of Beirut. I phoned the company, no way for me to get the fertilizer any more. In my case it was the brand "Hakaphos", which comes in different types and is a concentrated powder which is diluted in water before use. But a lot of other products are affected as well. You would have to register with your business number and passport number to get the said fertilizers in future. Bye for now Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
