How many professionally gardened rose gardens have a garlic growing under the
rose bushes? Zero. Wonder why?

Come on Martin .... I realise the analytical Dutch must have a great
effect on your thought processes but it appears that Sheila has given
the perfect reply. Any international/EU input known only to the

What and dig up all those dead donkeys?
There is no sign of babies under gooseberry bushes either.
I look for these things. If getting rid of aphids was so easy every garden wood
be wall to garlic and aphids wouldn't exist in France.
