CustardVape Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) @disco survivor @Lux_Interior Really frustrating. I can't see anything obvious, but then again my eyes ain't the best. I can't see any caterpillars... What I have seen though is a moth and the odd grasshopper jumping about. I've found a couple of worms under pots and I've had some snail damage over night. The joys of growing outside I think it's poo but from what I can't see... Another shit picture.... Edited August 11, 2023 by CustardVape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux_Interior Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 @CustardVape Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes should sort them out. They are not hard to get hold of and a £10 should buy you some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a placebo, but this specific variety appeared to wipe them out at a much faster rate than just Bacillus thuringiensis which i needed to re apply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you possibly give me a heads up on where to get some? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardVape Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Got some Bacillus thuringiensis powder and some neem from the auction site. The powder mixes with water to make a spray. Should arrive tomorrow. In the meantime I've not seen anymore.... Cheers people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey bud, apologies for the delay in getting back to you, slipped through my nets. Normally it comes in powder form which you then dilute. Not sure where it is available in the UK but it must be somewhere. Try searching for the brand "Target". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
