Pea weevils won't do.much harm once the plants are established, but they can harm little seedlings. My solution is to put a little ant powder between the rows. This is probably against EU regulations, so I won't tell you where I live, or the Pesticide Police will be knocking on my door.
Timber yards and landscaping businesses, such as you'd find on a small industrial estate, sometimes have offcuts of perfectly good timber that they just chuck away and might let you have if you ask.
Had my plot for the last four years won best new plot first year and came eighth in Birmingham.It was hard work to begin with still plagued with Mares tail,but last Sunday dug up some Charlotte potatoes,Broad Beans and peas followed by the best Strawberries I've ever had after feeding them chicken manure,overhaul Is it worth the cost,time,energy you bet ya.
