~ PEST& DISEASE MANAGEMENT & INFORMATION ~ LIST HERE PLEASE ~

[Hattie the Hen]

I, as a gardener of many years, have found it very frustrating to have to spend hours & hours reading through many posts on various sites to find the treatment for whatever has gone wrong & needs to be treated very fast to prevent it spreading.....!! So I thought it might be a good idea to try to collect it together in one thread.
I have included both organic & non organic option as I think this is important -- we need to understand both sides of the coin. As most people on the forum know by now my garden is organic but even I have been sorely tried & tested at some points.........

If you find sites that help, especially ones with good, clear photos please add them.

With hope of an easier & more informative future.

Hattie, could a little knowledge be a dangerous thing??

Okay, , I ain't a-skeered !! I've recognized food growing out there in my garden for decades and I'm eatin' it!

Unless there might be somethin' wrong with it . . . . . . . . . .

Here's everything from mildew to witches' broom from Ohio State University.
