Hi,
I am growing organic strawberries for the first time, they started OK, but now there looking rather abused as they have had slugs attack them and ants I got rid of the ants by spraying peppermint oil and it worked quite well! but as for the slugs the story isn't quite so good. The strawberries started to grow and I have managed to eat about 3 but there were around 15-20 that I can count which were either eaten by birds (I forgot to say about those) or the slugs! and the ones that weren't picked hardly grew for some reason they just withered or they looked as if the juices had been sucked out of them, all dry and later died off, now none are growing, can anyone help me with a few tips?
