This year i will be growing Kestrel which supposedly has slug resistance, hopefully they will be resistant to this as well.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)

Was reported on one news channel or another yesterday.
Somewhat ironically it was reported as being being spread by the agricultural machinery carrying contaminated soil from location to location.
The resistant varieties were reported as not overly palitable and so not a good market for such.
I did get the idea that the person being spoken to want to say that the short term solution would be genetic engineering of the resistant component into the varities we use presently.Last edited by Kirk; 14-11-2019, 06:32 PM.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
