[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7030349, member: 2119"] I grow veg in my garden without pesticides. Lettuce has a few slugs and earwigs in them. I can wash most of them out. But you should hear them squirm if one has made it into the salad. I think it will need a sea change in the public’s attitude before they accept anything less than 100% perfect bug free produce.....but hypocritically they don’t want pesticides here. So in it comes from abroad while we are left with low uncompetitive yields, waste and poor quality produce nobody wants. Wherever and whatever you farm you lay out a feast for certain pests and without some sort of artificial intervention you will struggle to optimise the crop. Relying on nature is a very hit and miss affair. [/QUOTE]
