The F-Word Snapshorts: The Stackable Garden Part 2

So for anyone who read my post about the Stackable Garden and composting a couple of months ago (http://ninawilliams-crumpetcapers.blogspot.com.es/2012/12/the-f-word-part-4-stackable-garden.html) here is how it's going now - pretty flourishing it would appear, but appearances can be deceptive.



All manner of veg and herbs are growing well, however Dominick spotted some interference from the infiltrating insects so we are trying a natural pesticide now - made of garlic, water, washing up liquid, hot peppers and onion placed in a spray which will hopefully deter the insect invaders who think that this is yummy for them!

In addition - the compost, although kept in a dark room outside, has somehow given access to varieties of insects that should not be able to get in. Weirdly some of them seem to be actual fruit flies that have lost their ability to fly - as if their wings are sealed up, so despite weeks of dedicated recycling of all waste this may not be viable for going into the next stackable garden.
