@offscriptsophie: I can’t lie when I saw the comments on the weedkiller we used I was gutted 😞 Some people took the time to explain why the impact was bigger than i’d realised and we’re a lot nicer than others. To be clear, I do NOT condone being horrid on the internet, kindness and education always go a lot further. Because sometimes people simply do not know (like me!) As someone who votes green, is a veggie (a recent one but I’ve been on and off for years now - this time we’re sticking to it!!) and tries to make environmentally friendly choices it hurt. But we learn and move on, and hey, now we know! Hopefully sharing this helps someone else make informative choices going forwards too! And excited to welcome adult ladybirds to my garden soon (hopefully they dont just fly away after all this??) Ladybird larvae from @organicgreengardener
So, problem is, next you'll have a ladybird infestation. And then you'll need to buy praying mantis to kill the ladybirds, then you'll have a praying mantis infestation and need to get snakes to kill the praying mantis. And then to kill all the snakes, you need to get wolves. And then once the wolves have killed all the snakes, you'll then have a house full of wolves.

Gardening is so much of a learning curve that I'm basically on a roundabout 😂 Ive learned to accept the weeds and just pull out whats causing an issue, I've come to the conclusion that weedkiller is just a gimmick at this point and doesn't do anything good! If you haven't already, adding little pockets of unkempt sticks/twigs/deadheaded flowers around the place have been great in our garden, its like a new build estate for the bugs 😂

I’ve used neem oil too for bug issues! You can use neem oil on yourself so fully natural! But I’d heard about getting ladybirds, but never seen anyone use them! I’ll deffo try these next year if I have the same problem as the neem oil absolutely stinks 🤣

So, we all need to be taught about a balance, we need to plant habitats for the wildlife so that they look after themselves. A small batch of nettles, I grow ragwort so butterflies and bees. It’s a learning curve. You will get there

Ladybug larvae eat twice the amount than ladybugs so they have enough food for when they enter the pupa stage. Seems like they had a proper buffet! Nice one for choosing a more environmentally friendly option ❤️
