I've started repotting my lilies to try to reduce the infestation of lily beetle this year. Had I kept up with repotting, as I used to, the problem may not have been so bad. Also, not certain as to quality of compost. Might need to do extra top-dressing or feeding this year.
Fingers crossed. Our garden lilies are always infested - I hadn’t thought of potting them. Might give that a go.

@tinley23 I had them in plastic pots (so I've made a mistake with these) so I could pick the pots up and turn them round looking underneath all the leaves for the eggs as well as looking for the beetles and larvae

@tamidruble I do things in fits and starts - which really isn't the best way! ;-)
