Slugs...
[x] reckons [y] placed around your plants will solve the problem, yay or nay?Unless x = slug pellets, nay.
There are two effective choices;
- Pellets
- Collect
As we've got a little one who still randomly eats things from the garden (mint is current fav) we can't do pellets.
I found that militantly collecting slugs every night for a week meant I could move to less frequent nightly collections. They also now rarely come on the veg side of my garden, and are more common on the other.
I put them in the green bin as my OH is an animal lover. I think cutting them in half with a sharp pair of scissors would be the most humane.
- Pellets

Our garden is quite small, and had about 80-100 plant pots in it until 4 weeks ago. One morning after it had rained I went out and squashed over 120 snails. Since getting rid of the pots (and greenhouse) we've stopped seeing any slugs or snails, and we no longer have slug trails on our kitchen floor every morning.

I haven't been able to spot one, there are slime trails and bites out of the leaves but no sign of the little fuckers anywhere...
I did find some tiny baby snails in our worm farm, maybe that's what they are? Can they live/hide under the soil?

Slugs ate my kale...
OH reckons cucumber slices liberally placed around your plants will solve the problem, yay or nay?
Couple of passion fruit fell off the vine yesterday, bit small, definitely ripe but still a bit sour... Had them in my porridge with honey this morning, crunchy and tart...
