Lee James replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"We put down an application of nemaslug earlier this year. We think it definitely let a lot of things get more established for a while, but it's too expensive to be putting down repeat applications through the year, for…"
Lucinda Lupin replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"Let me know how you get on with Nemaslug and I know you'll like Slug gone. It's organic and safe and works."
Crazii_C replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"ive ordered nemaslug to try it to see if its worth the cost. i'll also be looking at slug gone. Currently ive had to use pellets, but i heard that they attract the slugs aswell."
David Ford replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"Nemaslug watered on is effective but not for the slug as I believe the nematode kills the slug with bacteria"
Deborah Davies replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"I use crushed egg shells, I haven't had any problems with those pesky slugs, my neighbour has had nothing but trouble from them and he uses slug pellets.

Lucinda Lupin replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"Slug Gone from LBS Horticulture. I keep mentioning this but it really is that good. I planted mangetout and within a few days I had only scrawny stalks left. I put the slug gone pellets round each plant and within a very short time…"
Southbourne Gardens replied to Crazii_C's discussion how to tackle the slugs"On our plot we have found manually picking them off on almost a daily basis and pellets the most effective. Some good info on the links in this blog I wrote earlier in the year.

With all this wet weather i thought that even if my tomatoes succumb to blight that my courgettes would benefit from the extra moisture and i would get something to harvest. But i hadnt taken into account the devasting effect of slugs! they have managed to eat the entire plant of several of my courgettes and squashes. they are planted in a large bed at my allotment so we are talking on a large scale. I have heard of lots of different methods used to stop the slugs and snails, but i want to know…See More

Tulips
Posted on April 30, 2012 at 21:12 3 Comments 0 Likes
I bought some reduced tulip bulbs last winter which i planted at the end of November. They were a bit of a gamble whether it was too late to plant them or if the bulbs were a bit past it. However as you can tell by the picture above the gamble paid off. I planted them in a row at the end of the bed that the tenders will be going into, so that the bed would be free till June. Perfect for my first attempt at growing cut flowers.

Well this last week has been a right wash out! So much for the drought! The rain has stopped me from doing anything at the plot. Whenever i was about to venture up there the heavens opened. All I've managed to do is pot on my tomato plants and sow some more broad beans. My fingers are itching to get things planted out at the plot. Hopefully it'll stop raining long enough for me to get a bit done now that I've got three days off from work, fingers crossed! continued:…
