I have prepared a lovely vegie bed and planted some seedlings of
lettuce, kale, silverbeet and snow peas just a week ago. It's been
raining so I have sprinkled spent coffee grounds and eggshells around
the seedlings to deter the slimy slugs and snails. This seems to be
working well. Last night I found 2 lettuces uprooted and slightly
nibbled. What would be uprooting the lettuce but not touching the
other seedlings. I hope I don't get home tonight to find more
uprooting? I put the lettuce back in - they should be fine. Can anyone
assist with identifying this strange activity? I'm going to sit in
wait soon! I'm stumped. It's such a delicate lifting of the roots!
Thank you!
