I am having problems with woodlice eating my pepper and chilli plants ! Any suggestions please.

We are over run with them adults and larvae.

I need to dry some shallots quickly for pickling. I have just eased the fork under one row, can I now lift these and lay them in supermarket trays and then stack the trays in one of the polytunnels so that they dry quickly or will this affect the shallots by being to quick ?

Hi OH yes that is what I mean

Is there any reason why you cannot direct sow leeks therefore cutting out all the hard work of planting out ?

Thanks for that OH, I have heard of this method will give it a go. Not that i am a great fan of chemicals (only use when I have to) Is there a spray or powder that I could use if all else fails ?

What can I do to stop or prevent earwigs eating my sweet peppers and chillis ? Last year in one of my polytunnels I lost about 50% of the fruit to these pests
