Topic: Sowing Peas ( Take 2 )

[Norfolk n Proud]

After sowing my Feltham firsts couple of months ago, they got a visit from the Pea Weevil, who proceeded to make a really nice pattern all round the leaves, before i stick in my next batch, what can i do to deter the pesky little buggers? ;)

Pea and bean weevils try dusting with Derris, this worked for us two / three seasons back.

 Evening Deva Duke,  could i get that from a garden centre i presume?

Hi andyc741 I bought mine from the organic shop mail order at http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalog/  cost was about £4, if your order is over £25 its free post, if under I believe it’s about £1 for handling, two / three days to arrive. Not sure about garden centre’s, visiting my local one tomorrow will look out for it and post reply.

Morning, cheers Deva Duke, i'm a a garden centre some time today so i'll have a look too. ;)

Hi andyc741 sorry for the delay regards Derris powder / garden centre’s, Yes it was available at the local ‘GC’, and I’m led to believe most of the national outlets should stock it on the shelves. Hope this helps DD.
