Care Guide

Good Pest and Disease Resistance

Dill can have issues with slugs and snails and greenfly whilst they are seedlings. For slugs and snails you should keep the area around the plants debris free and as dry as possible during the night as slugs and snails love moist conditions. You can also form a barrier around your plants using crushed egg shells or copper wire which should deter slugs and snails. For Aphids, monitor the leaves and stem for any signs of aphids and, if you see them, pick them away with your hand and then spray the infested are with soapy water.MORE
