Vegie patch

Daily routines:

• Look at your vegies every day.
• If you see any holes forming in leaves,look over and under the leeaves to see if you can catch and squash the culprit.
• The more you do that's a big money-saver.
• Look for weeds too.If you didn't plant or sow it,pull it out.
• Usually you can just drop any weeds you pull back onto the ground to rot away,but not if the weed has bulb or flowers on it.In that case,throw it in the bin.
• The fewer weeds the less competition there is for water and nutrients so your vegies get it all.And since many weeds are the host plants for insect pests,getting rid of weeds reduces your pest problems too.
