    Montclara, another organic remedy is to wash out a bean tin or such like, get a potato and peel a little skin and put a criss cross on the potato showing the flesh then put it into the tin and get a long nail, lie the tin on its side and pierce it and put the nail through the tin and potato, put this under the Camilla and it can be used in pots too.
    You will never be bothered with the grubs in pots if you use a little clay with the compost. Its only when you use total compost you have the grubs. ;)

    That's mental - I was looking for peat-BASED compost recently and couldn't find it anywhere

    Grand, so should be OK with the replanting the camellia in the ground?

    Replanted the camellia yesterday and took everyone's comments on board. The log roll seemed to be the handiest solution for a raised border It's not particularly tidy, but hopefully it will survive.

    Thanks for all the comments. No doubt I'll be back with more questions on other stuff.:)
