Subject: Re: Insect peppers
Hi all had a slug problem way back in 1994 They were
decimating a quarter of an acre of daffodils. So one night at full moon I
collected about 100 slugs /snails placed then into a container with
about 2 litres of water and let them rot away until the next
full moon . I then diluted this mix one in 10 and sprayed 3
nights in row and repeated the exercise the following
month.
I started to harvesting this crop again in 95 and have
been able to do so since with very little slug damage. It will be
interesting to see what happens this year.
Cheers Tony Robinson
Hi Tony and all
There is a reference to decomposing insects for pepper
in about the middle of lecture six - I'm surprised more people have not
picked this up

Hi Lloyd It was that and Maria Thun passage in her book
Work on the Land and the Constellation page 41 that encouraged me to try
this method. I used just water so it was pretty smelly stuff. The kids
have just started to pick these flowers So i must get out and checkand see
what has happen after about 6-7 years .
Cheers Tony
