Hello, I'm new to this forum, so I hope I'm not teaching my Grandmother to suck eggs....
I just thought I would share with you a little trick I have, which many of my friends have copied.
As I grow everything in pots, initially on windowsills, I need plenty of closhes. As I'm totally and utterly skint, I make my own. I ask everyone I know to save their 2 litre plastic bottles (the type you get coke etc in) and I cut them in half. Punch holes in the half with no hole and you have perfect homemade cloches.
I always put them over my lettuces (take them off on hot days obviously) and they keep the slugs off!!
Hope this is of help to someone,
Cxx
