How can I get rid of earwigs, having just cut 3 cauliflowers they are crawling all over the place, makes a change from slugs and snails.

Hi Bren, You could try filling 3inch pots with straw put them upside down on canes, position them alongside the cauli's.The earwigs like the environment, check every few days and dispose as neccessary.

Dear Oxalis, this is a tried and tested method and does work very well.
I used to know a Show Dahlia grower that always used this method with great success.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
