    The slugs love my cannas too. Found one happily munching through all of the layers of a new leaf last night. I was thinking of trying the garlic too. Wondering if it may help keep the neighbors away too!

    Garlic does help a bit. Try and get rid of the slugs though, check there are no hiding places nearby... get the pots up off the ground if poss

    I have decided to try a trap using the throw away water bottles, by cutting off the top part and invert it back into the other half and use off the shelf Slug bait. Where they can enter the trap by falling from the screw top in search for the meal but cannot get out. Plus being rain proof.
    When needed they can be pulled apart, emptied and refilled with a few grains of the bait and returned to their spot in the garden.
