Why do my organic snowpeas have tiny brown spots all over the peas and flowers, they also seem to be stunted a little? How can i fix this problem organically?

Hi, I just recently moved into a house with an established vegie garden and there are snow peas in there. I was wondering whether to remove them now and sow next year or keep them for a second year as they are? thanks.

Snow peas should grow well through the winter so if they are fairly young plants then I would keep them. If they've already finished podding then rip them out.

Thanks for the tip! The plants have finished poddong so I'm going to get rid of them. Is there anything I can plant to make use of the trelise that is still there?

I know it's not ideal to plant the same thing in the same spot repeatedly because of pests building up in the soil, but you could put in some more snowpeas for this season, maybe digging in a bit of compost first.

is it ok to use fertilizer such as worm wee.ie from a worm farm and then water it down to 1in 10 dilution or is this too strong

Hi, I use the liquid from my worm farm at a 1 to 8 dilution on my vegetable garden which seems to work quite well. With my indoor tropical plants I can use the liquid straight. - Annaliese

I always heard that diluting to 'weak tea' colour is the way to go. Admittedly I drink tea quite strong so I expect I don't dilute enough, but they seem to survive.

They might need to just grow a bit longer. A bit too late for you, but a pinch or two of potash in the trench when you plant is good for peas.

Hi, pot ash from a fire? Or can you buy this from a nursery?
