as in the past few years, watso has planted a few old spuds - and some are now resulting in new potato plants ..
mmm watso is confident that just as in the past few years, the snails will totally eat the plants ..
but this year things might be different .. watso has bought some white vinegar - and will spray the spuds...
mmm somewhere on the net, watso watched something about vinegar being good for resisting garden pests ..
mmmmmm mmmm mmmm watso also planted some old sweet potato - but it seems that rats have sniffed some out - and had a good feed ..
To create a vinegar spray that works on garden insects, combine three parts water with one part vinegar in a spray bottle and add a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent. Swirl in the spray bottle to mix the contents thoroughly before use on the garden.
A vinegar spray can ward off several different species of insect. Slugs, moths and ants are just a few of the vinegar-phobic pests in your garden.
slugs = snails
When used in slightly higher concentrations, vinegar can also serve as an effective weed killer in your garden. Mix a 50-50 vinegar-to-water solution in a spray bottle and spray directly on weeds growing nearby. Vinegar is also a deterrent to grass growth and can kill grass anywhere that you need to eliminate, such as grass growing up through cracks in your walkway.
