Tomatoes and Peas

We are well outnumbered by slugs, snails and woodlice in this property, and we (unfortunately) share the love for fresh vegetables. Since these creepy creatures are here more than we are (something called work takes us more than 50 hours a week including commuting time), they have a better chance of enjoying our harvests.

One thing that seems to deter woodlice though is a small barrier around the plant. It seems that woodlice prefer young shoots, so once a plant has had a chance to grow more, the woodlice would eventually leave it alone. Below is the protective covering around the tomato and peas on the side bed
