This autumn is surprisingly (disturbingly?) mild. It’s very simple, some weekends we had the feeling of living in spring, minus the showers. Suddenly the little beasts that usually do not resist the first cold are still there and that does not make the happiness of gardeners.
Leek moth, caterpillars on cabbage and there are also aphids!
Jacky Mercier organic market gardener in Frontenay sur Dive observes the damage: the leek moth is this small white worm that creates a gallery all along the leek if you let it. But what to do ?
I only see Bacillus Thuringiensis against leek moth and caterpillars.
Yes, but with the rain, isn’t that likely to dilute the product? The important thing is that the product stays in place for at least an hour or two, replies Jacky Mercier.
For aphids, we can think of the decoction of manure from tomato or rhubarb leaves. The detail of the preparation is to be listened to again in this chronicle.
