We had a another visit from our next door neighbours duck this afternoon and have discovered how she is getting into our garden - there is a very small hole at the bottom of the fence! Our neighbour thinks that she might be being attracted by all the slugs and woodlice, so we asked if she could visit our garden for a few hours each day as a natural slug deterrent, which they agreed to.
We found a couple of ladybird larvae on the runner beans and on investigation discovered that they are Harlequins which are not native to the UK. However, as they do eat aphids we will leave them where they are to get on with their work.
Hopefully, all this means our young veggies will now have a better chance of reaching our plates!
