Things are really coming on nicely in the AutoPot HQ R&D showroom. We’re growing a wide variety of crops including three varieties of cucumber, two melon varieties, bell peppers, Sungold, Gardeners Delight and Ailsa Craig tomatoes, plus our favourite Thai basil varieties; holy, spicy and sweet. Not to mention a long list of different chilli varieties! As many experienced growers will know, summer time may well provide advantageous growing conditions, but it also brings a few unwelcome guests to the garden and in our case it’s brought an invasion of aphids! We’re not huge fans of chemical pesticides here at AutoPot (we just use a bit of SB Invigorator and Diatomaceous Earth to help slow the spread), we prefer to let nature take its course, and have introduced an army of natural predators to sort out our aphid invaders. Our weapons of choice include; lace wings, lady bugs and parasitic wasps. Let battle commence! Follow us on Facebook for pictures and video updates
