• I haven't looked here for about two weeks but are we still talking about slugs and snails?
    I was at the Chelsea Flower Show years ago and got talking to a Hosta exhibitor. He told me he used Sharwoods flat sided bottles containing a few slug pellets, laid on their sides with the base slightly higher than the top. The bottles being flat sided don't roll about, rain never got to the pellets and the slugs could come and go (and die). A regular rinse out and replenish of pellets and away you go.
