Ugh, really not looking forward to the ongoing Slug War... it's those hefty Spanish slugs that really take some effort to squish/stab/splat. Traps just don't get enough numbers, got some resident toads but they just aren't big enough / hungry enough to make much of a dent either. I find them pretty tiresome, and they kill my favourite plants.
I have a question about compost - thinking to add some (quite a lot) of grape vine. RHS recommends 50% green stuff and 50% brown (woody, cardboard etc) - I've tended to only put green in and it's fine, hasn't gone slimy. We have quite a lot of borage and the compost bin gets the sun so it goes down amazingly quick. I'm thinking the vine might be useful as woody stuff, but I don't have a shredder, and chopping it all up into tiny pieces by hand is super tiresome. Will it get broken down eventually by the small beasties, or will it mess up the compost with ridiculous long fibrous bits if I just put it in as is?
