Reply To: Wire worms infestation!

[Karen]

Found another casualty this morning 🙁

Thanks Charles, will keep replacing plants as thankfully my weakness of always having excessive plants helps fill up the gaps!

Our 4 year old garden was formally pasture which our neighbour used for his horses to graze on.

I have been killing the worms and the slugs are all kept in a bucket filled with water and a lid. Klaus and I are kinda apprehensive about killing the slugs…. He was telling me, there is so much fresh grass, why do these slugs have to eat the lettuce???? We will possibly just drown the slugs in the water.

I have ordered Helix Tosta (for slugs) and dipel es (BT) (for caterpillars and other worms pest possibly?). I am just a little apprehensive about using these items, as I have always killed these pests by hand.

Have also ordered a book on “Homeopathy for Plants” by Christiane Maute as I came across the book while looking for Helix Tosta. Just want to feel a little bit more comfortable about using these items.
