There is a product on the market now to get rid of it, you'll have to go to the garden centre though. Here it's sold under the name of Solabiol.

I have a hedge in my front garden that’s seems to have fallen victim to it. It’s the first time it’s happened and it’s been there for around 10 years. Don’t really want to pull it up as it’s taken ages to grow!
Thank you. I’ll take a look.There is a product on the market now to get rid of it, you'll have to go to the garden centre though. Here it's sold under the name of Solabiol.

Yes, both of those. I was only going to do one batch of potatoes but some were sprouting in the fridge so I put them in the bed and they have gone mad.Look at the difference!
what are you growing? I think I spy tates and broad beans
My potatoes have also gone mad! Luckily we have lots of family nearby who drop in the have some of our produce!Yes, both of those. I was only going to do one batch of potatoes but some were sprouting in the fridge so I put them in the bed and they have gone mad.
I also have carrots, onions, garlic, brussels. radishes, lettuce, beetroot, cabbages, runnerbeans and tomatoes in the greenhouse.
I have grown garlic before, most of it growing is cloves i left in the veg bed, they are like another weed and will just spread if you leave them. I also have some elephant garlic I am trying for the first time. Most of it doesn't look much bigger than regular garlic but one plant is enormous.My potatoes have also gone mad!

Im growing garlic and onions for the first time this year, have you grown them before?
Ahh that’s interesting to know. I might try elephant garlic too.I have grown garlic before, most of it growing is cloves i left in the veg bed, they are like another weed and will just spread if you leave them.

Not tried onions before, I have mixed them with carrots as I understand the smell hides the carrot smell from carrot fly.
I have a great book called Veg in One Bed which tells you what to plant, when and what to replace with to cycle in a bed. it is by Huw Richards who is also on YouTube.
Peas climbing up a frame?What should I grow for some aesthetic height to my veg bed? Realised everything I've got is low growing and last year I have broad beans, the plant was lovely, but I didn't make use of the beans for some reason.

Ooh never thought of sprouts! I went with French beans.Peas climbing up a frame?
Sweetcorn?
Sprouts?
Yes, I went with French beansWhat about french beans, would you use them? Or even borlotti beans, which you can use as a substitute for kidney beans in cooking.
Wait until the flowers on them die. Have you put soil round the stems?My potatoes have gone wild! Not sure as to when I should dig them up
I agree with @Moongirl69 , topping up the soil will help getting a bigger harvest. I always leave mine in until the foliage has died, no harm in leaving them in since it will be too cold by then anyway for them to start growing.My potatoes have gone wild! Not sure as to when I should dig them up
My slug traps don't work very well. I may have to upgrade from £1 for 4 cans of Sainsburys larger. They may have better tasteI agree with @Moongirl69 , topping up the soil will help getting a bigger harvest.

Also can I just rant about slugs? Fucking hate them, they've made a mess of my spinach and radishes. I don't want to use poison but at this rate I might not have any more options. Ffs.
