TINY HOLES IN ROCKET??
« on: August 05, 2008, 08:44:28 »
Does anyone know what it is that eats Rocket?  Its not slugs as they are really tiny holes, all over the leaf.  I have noticed that it only seemed to effect my second lot of rocket which was planted last month. The first plantings were ok - is it something to do with the warmer weather?  I do cover with Debris netting. Any info. would be appreciated. pam

morning pammiep - I reckon its flea beetle.  Give it a dust with Derris dust - worked brilliantly on my radishes and mixed salad leaves.
