So it's week 3 of using coffee grounds to repel snails and so far, so good!
Part of me does wonder whether its also due to the fact that I have companion planted marigolds along side the veggies, along with a flower which we planted ages ago and can't remember what it is!
So these first couple of pictures were taken the day I first posted about trying a natural snail repellent
here
|
L-R: Strawberries, forgotten-name flowers, brussel sprouts, spinach and a couple of herbs in there somewhere |
|
L-R: herb pot (coriander & parsley), snow peas, thyme and marigolds |
These photos I took a few minutes ago. Don't you just love the light on a spring morning?
|
One a little moth-eaten, but pretty good |
|
So far so good here too. |
|
Sadly, the basil's a bit eaten, but otherwise ok. |
So, as long as one of us is having a morning coffee, I'm going to continue with the coffee grinds and see how we get on.
Now I need to work out how to prevent white moths... oh and the birds from eating the strawberries! Any suggestions/tips/comments will be greatly appreciated!
