roblfc Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I put my 6 wk old girlies in the garden recently and they got chewed up real bad . I read a thread about leaf coat . Is this the answer or will a pesticide from B+Q suffice my needs ? Please give me a brand name to buy not the chemical names please. Great site guys keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vlad (the impala) Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 deffo NOT any chemical based ones! - You should be ok with anything marked "organic" - but try to keep it to the vegging period only. "Leafcoat" is a truly organic way, or the same company's "buzz off" is often used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdammer Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I agree Dont get chemicals. I have this report on chemical pesticides, and apparently when you burn pesticides you will crate one of the most toxic substances known to men. I will get this on line when i can find it.

oldtimer1 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Before you do anything, you need to identify what the problem is. So first advise, find what pest is causing the problem. Then we can advise you how to deal with it. It may be its slugs or snails, leaf coat and no insecticide will deal with that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopiate Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 It may be its slugs or snails, leaf coat and no insecticide will deal with that problem Learn something new every day off to leaf coat my courgettes who are getting a hammering despite; talcum powder, ringing with copper, ash, sandpaper mulch, dried egg shells and importing of two frogs.

Arnold Layne Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 The only solution to slugs I ever found to have any remote effect was vaseline. Only works for pots mind. You just coat the lip with a heavy layer of the stuff. Most slugs can't grip on it so - voila. Some do, hey-ho. And then birds drop you a snail, oh lovely! Slugs - what was the GL thinking of?

Twelveways Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Bury a cup half full of beer (Bitter works best, but they will go for lager as well) the slimy little lushes will fall in, get drunk and die happily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawkins Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I am growing using NTF in rockwool using bioponic nutrients. I have had problems with leaf fungus in the past and wondered if anyone has used LeafCoat by Biobizz and if they found it good or not but most importantly is it ok to use with my setup.
