  • Two pests

    Hi all

    I have two pest problems, you might say I have three if I include myself!

    1st Pest

    Bright green cateropillar munching my exhibition onion leaves and leaving the hollow section full of waste material-any ideas please?

    2nd Pest

    Cutworm ( I think) chopping my kale plants off close to the ground. I dug under the remaining roots and found a slow moving creatue like a grey/green caterpillar. Was this the culprit? And if so how can I protect plants against it

    3rd Pest

    Me!- Homo sapiens - No known cure!
    My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
    to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)

    Diversify & prosper

    Pest 1 - could be Tortrix moth. a right pain in the brassicas! hd some nibbe my chilli's last year mind you it killed him in the end

    Pest 2 - That definately sounds like a cutworm. It will get better the more you cultivate the ground Snadger as you'll expose these little buggers to the local birds (I assume the women round by you like a cutworm or two )
