If you do not like using insecticides then spraying with diluted fairy liquid or crushed garlic in water. Crush a whole corm of garlic in a small pan of boiling water. Allow to cool, strain and put in a small container in the fridge. When using, dilute three parts water to one part garlic solution. Spray often, every few days, especially when it has rained. There is a garlic product available in garden centres and stores, but this is a much cheaper alternative.<br \/>\nRegarding the mushroom compost, avoid Orientals Lilies as these prefer acidic soil. Asiatics, Longiflorum Asiatics, Oriental trumpets and longiflorum lilies will do well in your raised beds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Kaveri.html\">https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Kaveri.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Big-Brother.html\">https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Big-Brother.html<\/a><br \/>\n<em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">Loraine Hart<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This question was asked by &#8211; LW Got any good permanent cures for lily beetle?
