Do you have any idea where I can buy pea straw? I have been sent a link from Gardening Australia which shows a method for growing spuds which uses pea straw amongst other things, but I can't figure out where to buy it in Ireland. No one seems to mention it.It is commonly used in Australia for many things.I appreicate your time and help.

I used an organic bug spray from Tesco (contains 20g/l natural fatty acids and HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRIS(2-HYDROXY-ETHYL)-SYM-TRIAZINE) on parsley, thyme and other herbs that I have growing on my balcony. They were covered in greenfly. Would it be ok to eat these herbs within a few weeks?

I have a variety of cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi growing but they are succumbing to some kind of worm, I think they are cutworms but they are very small and white like tiny maggots. Any description I see of cutworms mentions one or two but there seems to be 4 or 5 per plant. is there a simple way to get rid of them? They are destroying all plants in their path.
