Slug Fest!
June 3, 2007
My lettuces have been munched and most have been completed destroyed by something. At first I couldn’t work out what the pest was but had a funny suspicion that even though I couldn’t see any slugs or slime trail, it must be them – Slugs.
So I ordered some Nemotodes – an organic natural way of killing slugs by using predatary parasites. I bought a packet which covers 40 sq metres which lasts 6 weeks in the soil £10.50 from The Organic Garden Catalogue.
This morning when I was tending my vegetables plots I found the slugs they were quite small about 2-4cm long sitting under my potato plants. I picked them all off, yuck! and promptly mixed up the nemotodes it was a quarter of the pack mixed in a 7 ltr watering can for each plot and just poured it all over the soil. It starts working within a week, so next week I will try again with my lettuces.
