So, I’ve been trying to grow my own veg. I’ve only got a small garden but I’ve got a few things going.

My biggest problem is trying to get rid of pests without using chemicals, If anyone out there has any tips or tricks I’d be glad to put it up here along with some of the things I’m trying.

So, please write in, in the meantime here are some of the Tips and tricks I have heard about.

Tip for white flies: Plant French marigolds amongst your veg. as the whiteflies don’t like the smell.

Tip for slugs and snails: Use old coffee grounds around plants to deter slugs and snails, they don’t like gettint ‘grainy’ bits on their undersides.

Trick for slugs and snails; Another trick for slugs and snails is to put a copper band around your plant pots, it gives them a small electric shock (not enough to kill, but stops them crawling up the side of the pot)

or you can scatter any copper items you have like coins, old copper piping around near susceptable plants.

Tip for blackflies; Spray your roses with a solution of washing up liquid, it helps stop the blackflies from attatching themselves to the plant.
