  • Verdun!! image Nope, I certainly didn't!! image As for cats in freezers, you'd be surprised just what gets stored in large fridge storage facilities...when the morgues are full...need I say more?!

    Just to be clear, the packaging says to keep in the fridge until opened for use. I won't be spreading nematodes on my toast!! image

  • Why nematodes only in August/Sept.? I use them twice yearly and it has made all the difference to the plague of weevils in my garden. As long as temperatures are above 15 degrees C, they'll work. Plenty of fodder for them in my garden, hey ho :-)
  • I have four window boxes and they gave destroyed all of my plants from the bottom up, I think tipping them out on to sone huge trays and letting the birds have a feast but I'm not sure if it's worth putting the compost back in or should I start again ? If I tip them on to the veg patch will it do future planting any harm?

  • Thanks Verdun, I've lost a few begonias after discovering they were full of holes but the blooming things I have them drying out in the corner of the green house, is there anything i can do to the tubers before potting them on to ensure they are bug free ? would washing them be sufficient ?

  • thank you image

    Hi. I understand that vine weevils cannot swim & tried placing a pot in a large tray of water overnight when insects are active. Result! Dead vine weevils the next morning.

    Worth a try.
