Our Feedback
I have been using slug banish for two years now and am delighted with the results. I also have used the bio-sterilant mustard and it appears to have have made an impact on the onion white rot which has ruined my onjon and garlic for the past two years. At the present time the onions and shallots are not showing any sign of disease, and the shallots will soon be ready to harvest. I wonder if anyone else has reported this?

Available from APPROXIMATELY May 2021Native to south east Asia, Thai Basil is widely used in the cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia as the leaves stand up better to cooking than those of the more familiar Sweet Basil. The slightly spicy leaves give a hint of anise or licorice to a wide range of dishes such as soups, stir fries and curries, though it can also be eaten raw, and used as a substitute for sweet basil. The gorgeous purple stems and long purple-veined leaves, pointed like mint leaves, mean that Thai Basil is also highly ornamental, and will look very striking in a warm, sunny spot in your herb garden.
