  • Inspirational

    Thank you for all the useful tipis for a first time gardener. You mentioned mildew…. What worked wonders on my courgettes was Marie Louise Kreuters onion and garlic tea. Just soak onion and garlic greens in water for 3 hours and then watered it down 1 to 10, water the roots and repeat for a few weeks. Worked wonders for me
