What do I put on Hollyhock leaves to stop bugs eating them?

by Tim Rose

Answered

My Hollyhocks are growing and I can see all kinds of holes in the leaves. It looks like something is eating the leaves but I can't find any bugs on it. Any idea what I can put on the leaves so this doesn't happen?

Could be slugs, put crumpled egg shells around the plants. Slugs will not cross them.
