RED SPIDER MITE IN THE GREENHOUSE.

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

I am happy to report that I have had none of these little beasties in my greenhouses this year! :D

I did scrub every nook and cranny, inside and out, of both greenhouses, with Jeyes last autumn.....no corner was left unscoured! The bench and even canes and those plastic oojahs that secure fleece to the frame, were subjected to a soaking of Jeyes. Whether this did the trick, or if it was due to the cooler weather this year, I don't know but it's at least broken a two year cycle of infestation! :D :D :D :D .

Cheers!
Happy with my lot

Dear Elaine, sounds like you have done a first class job, very satisfying when you reap your rewards after doing a tedious task.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
