vine weevil again
I thought I had beaten the b*****s. I have not seen a vine-weevil for
over a year. Today I found a newly emerged (soft to squish!) weevil on a plant in my garden. Now it seems I have to start the battle all over again. I have over100 pots and they could be anywhere except recently potted things. You might have heard rude words in the skies over the Bristol/Bath area! Pam in Bristol |

wrote: Make up a solution of Armillotox and water the lot I'd be interested to know if it works. It made not a scrap of difference to my vine weevils. I soaked my fuchsias in a bucketfull of the stuff, never mind about watering it on, the little swine seemed to thrive on it. Gee thanks Pete for the encouragement!! LOL I will try using Arnillatox (to clean my pots!). If I find any more after that I'll have to resort to nematodes, but as I already have the former and I know the latter is expensive, I'll try the cheaper option first. Pam in Bristol |
