Diatomaceous Earth works well. It’s a natural earth that slices them open while they try to climb the flowers and doesn’t hurt the plant whatsoever. Just sprinkle some at the base of each the plant ( preferably in the spring )

Should have double quoted.
Thank you Barry and thank you for being ok with me piggy backing off your thread. :heart:

Another cracking bloom there Vlad :+1:

Thanks Barry, tge buggers require staking because they grow tall and the flower heads are very heavy

Get some one else to carry them.

Such beautiful flowers on here.
There are so many different colours and types of Dahlia, I could never get bored with them.
Well done all you hard working gardeners. :+1:

Boom boom! :joy:

How’s are you and your dahlias?

We’re doing alright thanks Vlad.
I am getting a bit crotchety of late, but dogs and dahlias are doing well.
Hope you are too. x

P.S. Just put a few more pics up in the other Dahlia thread.
