Help needed for my Basil

(Plant) something is eating away at it, i have lots of herbs growing in pots in the garden even another Basil in a pot next to it, whatever it is eating this one plant not bothering with others, Parsley, Mint, Rosemary and peppers all ok

Get rid of it before the pest starts on the other Basil

will do but would love to know what is causing it, the other Basil is an older plant.

Ask Sybil she will know!

Hi I've had same trouble with basil and mint looked for advice on the net and it said to make a mild washing up liquid and water then spray the leaf's both sides I couldn't believe how fast and well it works I do it once a week and not one single leaf as got nibbled!! When I need some I just rinse with cold running water.Brill good luck!

Have tried that without luck, will ask plant man tomorrow as i got it from him, am thinking some sort of moth.

We bought expensive moth spray from the garden centre and now the moths turn up with knives and forks to eat the geraniums. So not sure moth spray works too well
