Here's A runner sending up 3 shoots FD. Cheers Arry In your experience Would that make it a more virile seed and therefore more productive or a “freak” and less productive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah mate you can but they are different now. They are Organic and don't hurt the birds or hedgehogs etc. They don't last very long as well. They are ferris based and you don't find the slugs and snails they go away and die. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry I’ve found the new blue slug pellets absolutely useless, and they degrade and leave a sort of hairy, mouldy residue. Im spraying my brassicas with garlic fluid, and I have beer traps, seems to be working up to now. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find them ok Charts but you don't find any slime or dead one they are supposed to crawl of hind and die. The other thing is I put down wood ash by the hedge where the come from they don't like crossing that till it get very wet. Beer traps are good mind not tried garlic spray, I have read about it.
