hi guys and thank you for interesting

I'm looking beyond slugs and snails because the garden is really infested.......picture1 - slug over snail: no fake!!! this clarify that the garden is quite overpopulated -
Since the very early of this growing, I'm experiencing problems with the "bitches with no legs" as I used to called them

I had major problems at first - as you can see in picture 3, the bitches eat almost whole leaves, but then I have controlled the problems placing some coffee wastes at the base of the plant

I have checked many times in the dark, - best of all it's very early in the morning - , I have killed hundreds and hundreds of them please look at picture 4

Usually, slugs and snails attack the lower part of the plant, starting from inside, near the trunk. But this time the holes covered the leaves on the whole branch, it seems different from other times....... maybe spidermites, flies or so........?


Neem Oil, how expensive is that stuff? Because I need more than 1 liter of water for every application, plant is quite big

I'm using a bio-insecticide made of Sodium Silicate and Amargo or Quassia........ What do you think if I add some garlic and tobacco to the mixture and spray it on the leaves?
