Homemade pest control : 1 liter of water , 1 teaspoon of dish soap , half teaspoon of vinegar - shake well and spray . This kills a variety of garden nasties , spider mites , thrips , mealy bugs, and whiteflies . It also helps a lot to fertilize , as a strong healthy plant will survive an attack better than one that's not at its best to begin with. I also have some pest repellent (allegedly) plants scattered all over my yard , favs are nasturtium , lavender and chives . Now I am not really 100% sure these really do anything - but they are pretty , and easy to grow so why not give them a try .
I put some dog food out for the hedgehog last night after an hour I had a look to see if he had eaten it but all I saw was a dozen slugs and more on the way all over the dog food.table salt did the job I may try beer.also I got the sonic thing to stop whatever it is digging up my pots at night.mixed results so far!
Oh my goodness, it sounds like your plants are surrounded! Good luck with your management. I find that the sonic pest control devices work quite well. Simon

Bio green garlic.(Liquid garlic 😉) I've found to be good in the garden. Feed it with every feed.
