Slug eaten main crop spuds
« on: July 28, 2008, 11:25:54 »
My main crop of King Edwards are looking v sorry for themselves, most of the leaves appear to have been eaten, I'm assuming by slugs as I can't find anything else on them.  Should I dig them all up now or are they ok to leave for a bit longer?

bit early for MC but it depends when you put them in - why not pull a plant tosee what size they and whether the slug damage is underground as well - it pays to be curious  :)
