S2 Ep43: June – can we convince you to love your slugs…?!


Listen Later

It’s June – time to start seeing the fruits of our labour as all those seedlings get planted-out. Chris and Fiona compare notes on their most challenging weed – horsetail for Chris, bindweed for Fiona – and share tips to keep on top of them without reaching for weedkiller.

We’re also joined by slug expert Imogen Cavadino, who shares her passion for these less-than-popular gastropods with Sarah.

Finally we answer questions on durable lawns, what to do with excessive grass clippings and planning to grow throughout autumn and winter.

Here are links to more information on some of the topics covered:
  • Growing Winter Veg workshop
  • Tasks for June
  • Organic weed management
  • Making your own plant feeds
  • Organic slug and snail controls
  • Lawn care
  • The Organic Gardening Catalogue
