[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62228, member: 1991"] I had a look - actually we DO get something similar, I think - but I haven't seen any around here. We get a lot of Cabbage Whites (caterpillar & butterfly) and I just pick them off and feed them to the chooks - I figure the extra protein makes for better eggs. They love caterpillars. Snails, too. Not so fond of slugs... I like the idea of a dill trap - round our place, the dill gets eaten by snails, given half a chance, but if I put a trail of talcum powder or sawdust around the plants the snails won't cross it. Companion planting - a cute idea but I only plant basil & tomato together so I can harvest them together. Like the old story about putting a bay leaf inside your flour jar to keep weevils away - how does THAT work when the weevils get into the cayenne pepper? Marg [/QUOTE]
