Because of this Richard has taken action for slug and snails Richard has used grazers g2 slag and snail repellent. From a company called Grazers. This is a calcium based repellent which doesn't kill anything. Which Richard feels comfortable using.



To tackle the Pigeon Richard has covered the cabbages with nets to prevent further damage.



the raspberry and plums however are a little tricky and cant take action just yet. Richard has found raspberry beetle trap and plum moth traps that he would use next year.
