Re: Gardening advice, please?
Had the same problem, go to Smart Supermarket and get a large container of ground black pepper, scatter it around plants, of course when the rain comes you have to do it again. Regards Dimsum p.s check which way wind is blowing or you will be sneezing like me for hours
