As for the slugs, copper and/or slug bait work well.

I've had problems with both as well. I mix my own spray for the insecticide. I use neem and pyrethrin soap.

Heres an old thread I posted about the Capsids
Capsid Carnage

BCGuerillaGrowa... I think you've got it
That's very interesting... I don't even know that capsid bugs exist

I've found some pics of leaves eated by various insects and critters on this page and I think you could be right.

More, you said that you're experiencing some slug & snails problems too.... this is a situation I really know well because it's very similiar to mine... probably we have similiar settings in our gardens

The only concern is that I have never seen one of those bugs on my plant when you said that they are clearly visible jumping from leaf to leaf..... I'll investigate further in the next days
just a quick question: is there a time in the day they prefer to eat and jump along? ie. in the morning, or in the evening or........

sorry buzzmobile u see I have just changed my mind - another time
