Hello from yorkshire
Hi. My name is Ian and I just had to join as most of my google gardening searches point to here.
This is my first year at veg growing. I've ripped up the lawn and planted potatoes, carrots (I was going to build a one foot fence aound the plot and staff it with ants armed with assault rifles to combat the carrot fly but I could find any)
er...
Garlic (mixed in with my carrots) Cabbage, Caulis, marrows, peas and herbs.
(phew)

Is killing slugs with a spade overkill?
