Cock Chafer Bugs
Has anybody got any ideas on eradicating Chafer Bugs? Presumably the numerous bugs we are finding in our planters at the moment were laid last year, the compost was re-newed in the Spring of 2010.

Wet Asparagus Bed
I live in S. Brittany with a S. facing plot. This Spring we planted an asparagus bed adding lots of sand and rubble etc. Like the U.K. we have just had 6 weeks rain and I fear that the bed could have become saturated, the soil has quite a high clay content. Would it be worth covering the bed with so...
