  • Something eating my potato tops.

    I didn't note that as a problem last year but something is having a much especially at one end of the row. I had a look at one of the plants and thee is a bit of a silvery trail which would indicate slugs?
    I didn't think they ate potato tops.
    I've put some pellets down so I will see tomorrow if that stops them in their silvery tracks

    Slugs and snails will eat anything green, even rhubarb leaves.

      Yes I think it must be slugs, they have had a go at everything else, even demolished my onion seedlings I think they too out one planted form a set too.

      What I really need is a colony of hedgehogs, but I have no hedge lol.

        What you need are ground beetles, lots of them. They eat slug eggs. Leave piles of old wood around the plot to provide a habitat for them
