Hello all,
I'm a first time veggie gardener and while my first batch of salad leaves was a sucsess my second batch as well as my other veg are struggling. It appears to either be due to something munching my leaves or rot? I dont think it's the latter as my soil is brand new.
I've attached a few photos showing the damage. I'd appricate any recommendations or suggestions as to whats causing the damge.
All the best,
Ross

tender young lettuce leaves are irresistible to slugs and snails. I don't think rot is your problem.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Yep, absolutely typical slug/snail damage there.
Great, thanks. I've put down a few beer traps so fingers crossed it helps.
Slugs don't deserve beer. I fill a large screw top jar with warm water, dissolve some sugar and add some dried baking yeast. After three days in the kitchen it's ready to use. The little blighters drown themselves in it just as eagerly as in real beer.
