    Potatoe Leaves Being Eaten Help.

    Hi right i have noticed over the last 2-3 weeks the leaves on my potatoe plant being eaten , and i think its getting worse by the day in my mind , probably just me. could anyone shed some light on what is menacing my potatoe. Pics below if theyre working , if not could some be kind enough to make them work , thank you.

    P.S anyone read my last topic pic of that unkown seedling is there.

    Thank you

      Certainly looks like that. A scattering of slug pellets between the rows should reveal if that is the case.

              Visit your plants half an hour after sunset equipped with a torch and a jar. Pick them off and dispose according to your rage! (Hugh Fernley W must have a recipe?) Do not let them go within 500 metres of your plot- or mine!

                  How very dare you (lol)

                  Hoverflies are extremely helpful to the gardener. I don't know what sort you've got though, a photo would help...?
