Greengardener also sell adult ladybirds and ladybird food - I'm considering getting some with some ant control stuff (the nematodes) in case the explosion of ants have annihilated the larvae. Our borders are currently crawling with ants and I think they need to be taken back before they remove all the patio grout. On a side note, the wool pellet anti-slug 'Slug Gone' barrier sold by them but also by various Garden Centres - which I've used together with their nemaslug seems to have largely spared our strawberry bed of slimy depredations (I haven't put slug pellets down in ages).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936364277610725037noreply@blogger.com
