    Slugs and snails are attracted to slug pellets ... they are a bait ... that's why they eat them.  You've got far too many and they're too close to the plants.  You're attracting them towards the plants! 

    You only need one pellet per 6" x 6" square .............. with the amount you've got there you'll contaminate your soil.  

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Arent those slug pellets on the soil? I would guess slugs too based the damage...

    Where were they before relocation?
