I trudged out to the garden shed and retrieved the Poast bottle, which
reveals that the active ingredient is (take a deep breath)
2-[1-(ethoxylmino)-5-[2-(ethylthio) propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-2cyclohexen-1-one
(Graham: a name like that ought to be enough to get it banned in Britain).
The manufacturer is listed as Voluntary Purchasing Groups, Inc. of Bonham
TX 75148.
I bought it for about $17 per pint at the local farm & garden store.
