Had a bit of a firkle round my desiree and slugs are having a field day. Eating the centre and leaving just the skin.First year for a long time there has been no blight and I have been slugged.Still got some earlies to eat to had not checked on the main crops. They seemed ok.
... my athlete potatoes have got a lot of scab on them does anybody know what causes scab I would be grateful for any advice
My potatoes are very scabby I think this attracts the slugs. I understood it was too much lime in the soil. I try to wrap mine in comfrey when they are planted. But they soon grow out of it. Growing in bags of compost is supposed to help. Exhibitors use them to get perfect potatoes. The bags have holes in so the roots can get to water.
