Harvestmen- A great asset.
« on: July 05, 2012, 23:48 »
I have found the long legged (a bit like spiders with a small round body) harvestmen a great asset to the garden as I discovered going out with my torch and seeing them out hunting. I have actually seen one with a small slug being carried in it's jaws. As tiny slugs are now starting to get into my greenhouse (I think from the ground in the soil between the paving slabs) I have a few in there as gaurdsmen. If you find any (and they are rife this time of year) collect them and put them in your greenhouse. They will also eat your aphids. ;)

That's amazing. Thanks for the info. I used to hate them as a child, but now see them in a new light. Friend not foe!
