    I'm on it Dove- my Nemaslug nematode assassins arrived this morning and I shall be inoculating my garden and allotment. I also bought some copper mesh a while back, AND I have every intention of using your tip about the plastic bottles!

    The slimy critters have been at my broad beans, artichoke seedlings and even the foxglove and sea-holly!! I thought foxglove was lethal poison- how is it fair that slugs eat it and live to eat again??? Bring on the nematodes and away with this nonsense!

    notcied 1 was drooping quite a bit yesterday, has done this before and i think just asking for more water

    strange though as the bed i created it to hold more water and mulched over and we had loads of rain recently

    ill replace it with backup if any issues.  i want the 4 to get big and look good at this spot

    ill have to watch the watering more before go to work at 530am

    2 sever droop that hasnt risen up like would normally do if wanting water, looks like on way to being dead

    2 middle similar but not as bad, some curled leafs is all

    fingers crossed any survive and maybe replace with my backup any that die

    gggrrr
