vine weavils. Watch out
« on: April 19, 2014, 17:56:43 »
I have two grow bags containing strawberry plants on a double tier strawberry table. One bag contains healthy thriving plants and the other bag has plants that showed little growth. They are a year old. I repotted all my other strawberries in troughs a couple of months ago and all are thriving. I decided to put the poor strawberries into troughs so cut into their grow bag. There was no root at all and these were grown in gropots on the growbags. Then I found dozens of the blighters and the soil was very wet. Anyway soil and weavils is scattered on the field for the birds to get to and I have put the poor plants into their own troughs isolated on a metal stand. Maybe I will get away with it, maybe I won`t

I have about 30 pots on my gravel garden so am very vigilant and will get nematodes. Anyone else?
