gnipper 5,966 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Peas are doing ok. The sweetcorn seems to be shooting up now Some of the sweetcorn have got three stems,should I leave them for extra corn or do they hinder the plant like side shoots on toms? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaraCroft 863 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 slugs will do that ! Despite diesel ( both colours ! ), gravel, pellets, sticky tape, hair, honey traps, beer traps, chickens, night time picking and a dozen other repellents, they still attack the PT in wave after wave of unrelenting slug-ness to eat the seedlings, leaves and fruit. I am thinking about a dry, gravel filled, diesel soaked, moat around the PT and the veg plot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just some pound shop vegetable food, is it dolff or something like that. only ask as my shallots look the same only much worse. Might be too late but I have a big barrel of nettle tea will give it a whirl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treehands. 1,379 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 If the nettle tea don't work try comfrey tea. Nettles contains nitrogen which promotes plenty of leaf growth. Whilst comfrey tea feeds for flower and fruit growth Works well on my roses too. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,036 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Joking apart. Looking not bad for you which I actually envy. My allotment is looking Fcking brill but the dreaded brown moth has once again hit my onions. When you see my pics you'll feel for me. Good garden Terry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,036 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Going back to Lara. The diesel swipe defo works. They cannot cross. Just as an aside, going back to something in the old brain box, Jeyes Fluid. Might be worth a go. Then the submerged pots of beer with about 2 inches above the surface?? Latest problem I have is ants in my peas. Shits really had a go so new rows and loads of powder. Trouble being the powder gets wet and not so good. Next problem is the cabbage white which is now everywhere. Keep all the brassicas covered. Then ,when your guard is down , them sneaky little white and greenfly arrive. You've wire worm at your spuds to really piss you off and all this while the weeds say you must try harder. Pigeons are giving me grief as well. Cats are scratching in all the best soft soil to deficate. Why the fck do we keep allotments? CAUSE WE LOVE THEM. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
