Default Vine Weevil?

A couple of the Fuschias in my greenhouse were showing signs of Vine
Weevil attack.. I took them out of the pots and didnt find any of the
usual curly grubs in the removed compost but just some tiny grubs of
about 3mm long with jaggy edges. i.e. with bits sticking out of sides.
I killed all I could find and repottedd the plants in fresh compost. I
gave the rest of the plants a soil drench of Pravdo Vine Weevil
Killer. Has anybody any idea what the grubs were?

Probably vine weevils just about to turn into the beetle stage.


I would say that too, but not at 3mm.

Why on earth does mention of vine weevil attack remind me of one of
mike crowe's money making schemes..............

Stop it now Steerpike
Hatred is abuse and virginmedia will not tollerate it.

If I see one more interruption to a thread by you to continue your feud
with "'Mike'" I WILL get your account stopped.
You may also get a criminal record, that's if you already don't have one.

Look on this as a friendly, one only bit of advice.

I dont know what all that stuff means, but I guess it must be
suggesting you are very hard and are not simply a tosser making idle
threats?

Thats simply not correct.............but cant say the same for john
bunt who still has a 5 figure legal bill outstanding! Amusing that a
silly netcop feels anyone is likely to take notice of their puerile
dribble though.................
