After years of trying and failing to grow lupins, I came up with the perfect solution: cheat. Slugs only really like younger lupins. Once they get past a certain stage the leaves lose their flavour and the slugs eat something else instead (my sunflowers this year). I just bought a decent sized lupin from the garden centre and et voila.

How do you prevent slugs from eating the lupins?
If I put them in a bed they get devoured.
Had one in a pot this year and it thrived before absolutely wilting to death. Possibly because the tap root hit the bottom. (Although fuck knows)
I love lupins but cannot grow them.
