creepy crawlies in the soil on the allotment

cultivating your soil and nuke what you find as I do. I always do at least an extra 3 of everything I put in and keep them in the tunnel or coldframe. When I see a wilting plant I dig it up and 8 times out of 10 there's a chafer grub but the other times by pennypat

Beasties etc found in lawns

need a flock of starlings to come in and deal with them. I love to see starling poking around in my lawn. The alternative is to treat the lawn in late summer with Provado Lawn Grub Killer - you'll find it in your local garden centre. Thanks by yarrow2
