I have started this blog to keep track of any pests and disease problems that occur in our garden. Hopefully we will have guest pests (pictures of other people's garden problems) once I have identified ours.
Where possible, I will also recommend natural solutions to these issues.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE

| physical damage: sunburn, showing gap in shadecloth above. |
Just a thin gap between the shadecloth strips overhead allowed a burn on the leaf.
BROAD MITES
broad mite on capsicum/chillies
This made all our cpsicum and chillie plants very unproductive. It was onlyy at the end of the season I figured out what it is and by snapping the tips off the plants it reduced the numbers.
Last summer was really bad for mites of all sorts, I found.
