Holes in my Radish
« on: April 19, 2009, 16:36 »
Something has been nibbling my radish in my raised bed as there are what look like slug bites annoyingly on almost every root. I have been putting animal friendly pellets dow. Has anyone else had this problem ?

No - I grow mine in cat litter trays out of the reach of those slimey things!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Yes, I had this last year in my raised beds, but not on every root just some of them.  You could try some crushed egg shells around the outside of the radish, or go down with a torch in the evening and pick them off!
