I planted out some onions I've grown from seed a couple of weeks ago and they seem to be doing OK although they haven't started bulbing up yet. I noticed the other day that several have toppled over because of gnawing at the base of the leaves, luckily I have replacements but on replacing I found orange wireworms in the earth at the base of the gnawed ones. What can I do to rid myself of these? Its only on a couple of beds.
Looks like they are a bit of a pig Sawfish. I found this site but it appears they are a b****r to actually kill. http://www.ukexpert.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=484
Just read a book about wireworms and they said that it is a good idea to plat a row of wheat by the affected veggies and the worms should home on it and then you can dig up both wheat and worms and destroy them. (Source Caroline Foley). If you try let me know if it works
