I got a bunch of snail and slug munching ground beetles. I believe they need rotting wood so a stick or untreated log pile somewhere can help?
A mesh area filled with leaves might also help to get beetles i think?
if you check online on the RHS site they have some tips.
Blackbirds definitely like a good slug seen our male wiping one clean of slime and then eat it.
I swear my slugs have little parachutes lol 😂
I can forget about sunflowers but dahlia grown out and then planted make it ok.

Thanks @JWestland
I think that if I encourage slug and snail eaters into my garden I would have a natural deterrent.. was thinking bird feeders.. also the hostas don’t need to look perfect, just a great filler for the planters and contrast with the bamboo and acers.
I’ll add all the usual barriers too, but I know snails and slugs will find a way through, they always do
