whats eating my runner bean leaves

Posted: 19/06/2012 at 14:10

Hi something is eating my runner bean leaves and having a real good feast on them... I thought at first its snails or slugs so put slug pellits down but they still seem to be eaten, even the really small leaves that are well over a foot off the round....4 out of 7 plants are still growing but they have all been eaten....

any ideas anybody as to what is eating the and what can I do ..Please !!!

I have thought of putting some white fleecey stuff over the to prevent what ever is eating them getting to them but then they wouldn't get any light..

liquid horse poo

Posted: 12/05/2012 at 13:45

Hi.. I have had a fresh horse poo tea bag in my water butt for a week now and I am wondering what's ok to put it on and when.. I am growing, cabbage, courgette, runner beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, aubergine, salad leaves, onions, garlic, peppers and loads of herbs, Plus flowers and shrubs in boarders...

Also I'm growing the potatoes in bags and I beleive I have to add more soil when I have shoots, but how long should the shoots be before adding it.

Many thanks

Aubergine

yeah I'l go and get one at the weekend....very stupid question but is the term 'planting out' mean planting out of the greenhouse into the garden?..
Also I have some potato plants in bags and the shoots are about 2cm above the soil, at what height shoud the shoots be before I add more soil.

Even though I am very new to growing veg I am really enjoying it.. this year will be a big learning curve for me..
Thanks for all your help
