Serious woodlice damage on celeriac
I have tried a couple of times to grow celeriac on my allotment,but each time the roots are almost unusable due to woodlice boring into the roots from below.
I thought that it was slug damage but I deal with slugs using slugbait which leaves the area around like 'killing fields' for slugs-so they work.
My allotment is on sandy soil,so I do use a lot of compost in the soil when I plant the celeriac to stop them drying out.The roots do grow to a pretty good size,but I would like to know how to stop the woodlice attacking them.
