Title: Another wee harvest
Post by: Chris Graham on July 22, 2008, 21:47:21
 ;D

Cut down the second early potatoes "Kestrel" and "Arron Pilot" as they were a good size.

Going to leave the rest to let the skins set so i can store them.

Chris did you get the nematodes from a garden centre or was it from the internet,? also did you have to do it more than once?

Bought them from the net.......

over the whole year applied them three times, but it was well worth the money to reduce the slug population.
