Reply To: Leaf Spot On Beetroot

[Di]

Hi Al P, I had some of my leaves being chomped about as well so i used my concoction that i made up comprising 1 onion, 1 head garlic and 3 large spoonfuls of cayenne pepper, blended in water, sieved and applied to leaves with a small handheld spray device. Can substitute chilli powder for cayenne if you wish. They don’t come near it, well perhaps just the once. Leaves are now untouched. It’s become my ‘go to’ for leaf munchers, including slugs….better than resorting to chemicals.
