• 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).

  • Nice sharp pair of scissors. Snip-snip.

    Or you can collect them and put them in the green waste bin.

    Or bag them, freeze, and compost.

    The most important thing is to spend every evening for a week going out in the garden in the evening with a torch and taking them out. After a week you should be able to scale it down to bi-weekly, then once a week.
