Have just been talking to the man who runs the local picture framers. He
has an allotment near us and says his rhubarb has been devastated by
something he called the 'mint fly'. This is a new one to me but he
described it as fluorescent and about the size of a ladybird. Other than
lethal chemicals, does anyone know of a cure for this problem?
