    Could it be slugs?

    check under some stones, woods, anything they could hide under. They shouldn’t be far

    Hi, thanks, I checked for slugs but I generally don't have many in the garden. I don't know why - maybe it's because they are raised beds, but I'm pretty sure it's not slugs.

    On closer inspection I found a few caterpillars on the turnips, but just a few. They could well have done the damage in that area.


    I'll go out later tonight and do a slug check. I've DE powder for the chickens, might get that onto the lot to see can I salvage some of what's there.

    I've been advised to try "Bacillus thuringiensis" to thwart the caterpillars. I can't find it in the local garden center or b&q/Woodies. Can anyone advise where to buy?


    Thanks
