Our 1 Acre – One Veggie Patch at a Time

Rain and Pear Slug

Well the good news is that everything has had a great drenching over the past 24+ hours, tanks are full and over flowing.

While in the image it appears light, it has been constant since 3am today

The bad news is that we had been noticing that somethng had been making our pear leaf (on Big Red)  “skelotonised”. Found the culprite today PEAR SLUG…. so tomorrow off to the nursery and to pick up pyrethrum and clemsel. Mixed with water and repeated over a few weeks it should kill the buggers off

  1. Also for the pear slug I will be getting some wood ash and placing it around the pears before next sping, that should then break the cycle of slug/fly
