Pests and Diseases
Let's face it, it's a WAR out there. There can be NO MERCY, no quarter asked or given! Yes, all those bugs have a right to life - BUT NOT ON OUR ALLOTMENT!
Joking aside, we suspect that most of us have a pathalogical approach to pests that destroy our crops and that we are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to eliminate the threats. This is not surprising really when one considers the effort (and expense) that we put into cultivating all manner of crops only to have some bugs come along and attempt to munch their way through them. Our attitude is that there's no free meal-ticket here and that bugs on our allotment face the ultimate penalty for their presumption.
There are probably as many ways of dealing with a particular pest as there are gardners willing to tell you...
