Slugs. So many slugs. We've had 2 weeks of dry weather followed by 2 days of rain. The slugs have just exploded out of the ground. I'd say over the whole garden last night there was on average one slug per 2 square inches. I picked about 100 off the vegetables, but no idea really what to do with them afterwards other than dump them on the other side of the fence (cow field).
Moving them a few metres will not help much; even homeless snails have a homing instinct. I knew someone who used to go out with a pair of scissors and despatch them on the spot. Urgh.
