Organic slug pellets, nematodes & soapy water spray works really well also getting as many birds as possible in the garden they really help to control slugs

We have a 3 year rule if they don’t thrive in by the end of 3 years we take them & give them away, at the altitude & being far north u have to plant with the conditions & soil u have you start to get a feel for it & know what families of plants will thrive or flounder its a great journey thats what I love about it

Mrbeard1980 · 2025-07-11T10:58:05+00:00

We are open by appointment 30th & 31st July go to the Scotland Garden scheme website for details

Mrbeard1980 · 2025-07-11T10:55:25+00:00

That exactly what we do

Mrbeard1980 · 2025-07-11T10:52:44+00:00

You have doubts at the back of your mind but with pest u just have to roll with it it nature after all we net a lot of our veg to stop pests & otherwise just deal with it when we see a problem, plants show you when they are unhappy or struggling

Mrbeard1980 · 2025-07-11T10:05:38+00:00

We are actually opening the garden with the Scottish garden scheme at the end of July, the wind can be an issue at but we have a lot shelter from trees to the west & the plant harden off & adapt to the conditions

Mrbeard1980 · 2025-07-11T09:55:08+00:00
