I have seen large slugs clambering over a single length of copper tape, I now use two bands of copper tape and this has stemmed my losses. Also, rather than keeping unused plant pots in my shed, I spread them around the garden, upside down. Slugs and snails roost inside the pots and so I can collect them easily. At first, I collected 5-10 per pot, but after a couple of weeks, the numbers started to diminish, so I think I am having an impact.

I bought some this week and tested it last night. I noticed the snails hated it!! But tiny slugs just went over it with ease! I didn't make a free standing fence though, I wrapped around my pots.

We've had night time temps down to 5c in the GH for the best part of 3 weeks, it's stalled a lot, toms, cucs, mellons, peppers, corn, F beans... brassicas are doing really well, and I've got strawberrys and raspberries comming out my ears, so not all bad, it'll warmup next week Jase

👍

Hi are you the man with a bus who showed pictures of donkeys on that app what got shut down? If not sorry happy gardening Richardx

I'm blaming cloud seeding for all this to much cloud about

having the same problems everything seems yellow instead of green

Wish I could share this extremely hot spell we're having here in Chicagoland. (95f/35c right now). I'm having the opposite problem....need shade cloth and daily long watering sessions to pull through this very early hot streak. Rabbits and something weird happening to the cabbages is my only issues thus far. But we're gardeners and always on the alert for the next threat. Here's hoping your weather improves. Lovely tour of your growing space.

Hi Jase, your apples might shed fruitlets this month, known as June drop, its been a slow year for growing, due to the weather conditions, hopefully it warms up soon, its a slow start to the season but once it warms up plants will recover and grow well, Steve

same here.courgettes,beans and tomatoes not progressing at all

We just got back from camping and it hailed, rained and even dare I say snowed. It dropped to 3c here 😮 but other than fleecing not a lot we can do but wait. Glad to see your hand is better 👍. My onions are tiny but I’ll leave them be for now. Hope it warms up soon or we’ll be growing nothing but cold hardy brassicas 🤦‍♀️. Have a super week, Ali 🌧️🌧️🇨🇦

We had a wet spring now we haven't had rain in weeks and it has gotten very hot in US everything has done well except onions I am guessing wet spring. Your garden looks amazing.

Jason I think all of us are having the same problems i blaming the wind rain and temperature, Just last week i had to go in my greenhouse at 02:30am to put fleece over my chilies and tomatoes it went down to 4 some places it almost went down to freezing.

Beer traps work but also kills beetles as well so stopped doing that method

I’m struggling even worse than you. Slug pellets are now pointless since reformulation. Obviously farmers can’t fanny about like this, I wonder what they do to protect their crop?

How do you cook home grown marrofat peas

Who is this man with the beard pretending to be you? You are far too handsome for that hair on your face. The beard ages you terribly... my opinion (but I know I'm right - lol). Just sayin...

good show, cheers Jase

Is it the taste of copper or do they get a shock just by contacting the copper

I'm still planting Jase and sowing carrots, Steve

Good to hear about the weekend peace, much needed

Glad you got some sunshine and quiet. It’s cold and wet here yet again 😢 but it is March oh shit wait it’s June 😂😂. Have a super week, Ali 🌧️🌧️🥶🇨🇦

Nice garden but have an issue

Did this copper mesh work? I seen people trying copper scouring pads

Hello Jase* haven't watched your video's for awhile* Dealing with Life as we all do* Totally get your stress at the moment, Loving your Garden is often interrupted & it's not as enjoyable* You Hold In There & Keep going ,,,Take care

I think your going to have to dedicate that back fence to a row of conifers Jase .They really do muffle the sound .Its heartbreaking though .Id feel the same as you 😔 Money rules the world now .I hate the UK now and I've never been so happy to be 62 and know that due to health reasons Im highly unlikely to be here in ten years but I pity my four adult children .

Dreadful situation, you have my simpathies. Its frustrating that no one gives a shite anymore. Could you consider narration on your videos, I understand it takes more time and it is not as good as a live recording.

I had this, I moved away.

Same here they have built 100 houses on a green belt near me. Seems if the envelope is fat enough you can build anywhere.

You have it spot on about them not giving a toss. An overarching agenda is at play. Our rights are being eroded by the hour. Time for the populusvto wake up and stand up. So sorry to see this happening to you brother. Its wrong on so many levels. 🙏🏼

What’s green about that? And how many people can afford or want such a small property! So sad for you and the others in your situation…

It isn't just happening there, I live on the West Coast of Canada (we have major space) and yet new housing is being build check to jowl. And joke is that all this new housing is being build on a planet where the total population numbers are declining almost everywhere.

God help us when labour get in

Make a complaint to council, keep copies, gather evidence, that's one route. Another, probably more effective is using Section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, you can do a private prosecution at magistrates court, you only have to give the builders 3 days notice of the action, you can get up to £5k compo.

all about the money mate

Here it’s the same and yes more tax payers is what they look at 😢. We are still quite lucky in that where our property is there’s no “city sewer” so can’t be developed. I am so sorry your dealing with such ignorance. I won’t try to candy coat it it’s just not me, no one gives a shit about those of us who are here and put in our time and paid our dues. We complained to council about a guy down the road burying gyproc 🤬 nothing done, another one filled in the salmon run brook 🤬 nothing done. Once. they are in all they care about is 💰💰💰💰💰💰. Yes but there is a more sustainable way to do it. Fireplaces are banned here. We have thousands not hundreds going in up the road. Chin up Jase please don’t let this be the end of filming, Ali 🇨🇦

The c doesn't give a f about anyone just money.

So sad it's happening everywhere.Such a shame. Not green all the trees they chopped down to build that road .Keep your chin up ❤❤

Great video, gardening planting work 👏👏👏

Keep ur chin up it will end just got to get through it

Know how you feel , had it all round my way , although today has actually been quiet . My local council still have the other half of the development to start yet 😮

WOOHOO hand is back in the dirt again!!! Has to feel sooooo good.

Nice transformation there

Hi Jase glad your hand is a lot better, a lot of work with the strimming and digging to get your tomatoes in, I've 19 planted into there pots now in greenhouses just another 8 to do, nice to see you that your getting stuck in again ..... Steve Colwell

Hi Jase glad your getting back to normal as normal gets 🤭. My tomatoes are the worst I’ve ever had, slugs ate most of them but I have spares so fingers crossed they do betger. Raining on and off for days here. Have a fab bank holiday, Ali 🌧️🌧️🇨🇦

Good news about your hand Jason, not all my tomatoes are in yet either, hopefully tomorrow...

wow man thats a lot of work you done hope you didnt over do it

I am so glad ypur hand is feeling better. No worries I am a little behind too. But you are getting it done. Happy gardening!!😊

Some nice observations there, thanks. Listening to you often reminds me of the inner conversations that I have with myself when I’m on my plot (though less sweary😬) Btw I’ve got some spare chilli plants that you can have if you’re out and about in the county and passing Ash Parva (Nr. Whitchurch). Let me know if you’re interested as in a few days I’ll be giving them away on the local WhatsApp page to whoever shouts up first.

Veggies are looking great
