    Is it slugs? Is it snails? Is it sooty mould or some other horrible thing? Is it pissing you off?

    Lucky I dont mind talking to myself

    Rust is my enemy at the moment. I have some lovely little silverbeet plants that are going rusty. Have replanted them so they have more air around them (rust is a fungus after all) and fertilised and generally taken really good care of them. They are still suffering, so it was off to the local for some drugs today. I am not a big fan of chemicals but I actually want to eat this stuff eventually. Have given them a treatment with Naturesway fungus spray today, will give them another blast next weekend and hopefully that will be the end of the rust.

    I have also decided to drench the soil with a condys chrystal solution to sanitise the root area too. Will do that tomorrow.

    Snails.
    Mum gave me a trap to get rid of the snail problem (which I don't really have). It consists of a circular plastic structure which the snails supposedly crawl up into. Inside there is a recess which gets filled with "the dregs of beer cans/bottles"... and the snail plunges into this for a quick knees-up, then drowns.

    I have never used the trap as I can never find any left-over beer...

    A silly device really.

    I have just mashed the snot (and other things too I am certain) out of several dozen little slimey bastards! There is something very satisfying about consigning these slimey little creatures to their maker, though I am certain Maha thinks I am bonkers

    I hate snails and slugs
