Please permit me to bump into your thread Mr. Seedworld. Good evening Ma'am. I have most of these seedlings available. Please drop a message under this if you're interested... You could also send a mail

I grow African leafy vegetables and battle leaf miner constantly. I've tried wood ash and neem oil sprays to no avail. Anyone who has successfully fought leaf miner organically, please share your tips.

Are the neem oil and supergro made up to two litres with water? Or is it just the supergro/neem oil that you spray on the plants

Thank you@jidestroud for the tips on pepper. I'm organic. All the best with your organic cucumber, and tomatoes project! Following...

Well-done Boss. Please where do you buy your seed trays and I need some tips on growing peppers. I've tried a couple of times but they always become diseased with the leaves curling and getting spots. I also battle with leaf miner on most of my local leafy vegetables.

@ Jidestroud, thanks bunch. Will upload pics ASAP.. @Okoroemeka thanks. Are these recommendations organic?

@Jidestroud, thank you so much for your detailed and very helpful posts. I followed your vegetable farming thread with very keen interest several months ago and was inspired to make a container/sack garden with ugu, waterleaf, bitterleaf, other African veggies, cucumber, tomatoes, different herbs and even yams. Success was varied..... But I am glad and better for the experience. My gardening is organic and I'm having challenges of leaf miner for some of my African leafy vegetables and, my ugu leaves curled, and had some sort of insect infestation behind the leaves and stunted growth. Some eventually died off. Please have you any idea how I can arrest these problems? Keep up the good work!!!
