Preach it, brother!

She is thinking of planting a few peanuts around each bean next year to turn the

In years gone by we would soak pea and bean seed overnight in paraffin
this would put the little darlings off and didn't hurt the seed

Never had any tubers eaten or even nibbled,just slugs going for the
