Something is eating my Pak Choi?

Posted 245 days ago

I planted my Pak Choi and broccoli seedlings about 4 weeks ago and something is eating the pak choi but not touching the broccoli, ive put down some snail pellets thinking it was snails although i hardly ever see a snail in my garden, does anyone have any idea what it might be and how i can get rid of it? cheers

You might need to do a torch check at night. A lot of critters do their feeding at night so more chance of seeing them then. Don't treat the area till you ID the culprit because you don't want to kill all the goodies in the hope that you will get the badies.

Try putting a saucer full of beer next to your pak choi if it is slugs they will get drunk and die. (what a way to go)
