Potato problem....
« on: June 24, 2009, 20:15 »
Went for a furkle or furtle or whatever we are calling it now  :lol: I took a few potatoes out for tea and one of them was a bit mushy and eaten with what looked a bit like a centipede on it. Its not wire or eel worm (I've checked pictures) Should have taken a pic I know but was busy trying to cook tea  :blush:

My question is seeing as its only 1 potato out of 2 harvests I would assume no need to panic or am I missing something and pull the lot just in case?  :unsure:
You have not lost the battle unless you quit :)

The odd slug/centipede/millipede/wireworm comes with the territory! :tongue2:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Are you growing them in containers?

Less of a problem in those than open ground.
