@cookingwithclaire21: Trying to grow our own fruit & veg and stop the pests taking over 🌱 We planted raspberries and real rhubarb, added carrots and spring onions as companion plants, and filled the beds with herbs like chives, oregano, sage, thyme and mint (kept in pots!). Also trying basil with tomatoes and a homemade garlic spray. Still learning — any pest control tips for growing your own? #growyourown #vegetablegarden #gardeninguk #homegrownfood #gardeningtips
Best advice I learned was the netting. Check the hole size as they literally get in all over

Thanks for the advise. I have no idea about pests though. All my stuff is still in the greenhouse or propagator inside

Buy some nematodes ready to combat slugs. They are microscopic organisms that live in the soil and by some magic are amazing at deterring slugs. I don’t know how it works but it was amazing for me last year.

This is fab work! I would highly recommend getting supermarket herb pots (especially perennials like chives, rosemary and sage) as they can be so much cheaper. Sometimes they can even be on reduced! I got a chives and rosemary pot for 50p each last year! They’re now thriving in the garden x
