In the top picture, i've decided the damage was too extensive and binned the remains. My setup is a series of plastic pots, 25cm in diameter. I'm a tad limited since being unwell last year. I don't know else I can do to prevent slug damage? I did read they dislike mint and rosemary.
They’ll be ok if you can plant them on into individual bigger pots.
You have the right amounting slug pellets 👍 now you need to do nightly inspections for slugs and snails. Check underneath the pots too. Some coarse grit on the surface often helps, and watch out for leaves touching areas of other plants to make a bridge for the snails to cross. 🤞

I don’t have much of a problem with slugs and snails where I live now. However at my last house I found that the only way of controlling them was to go out at night (particularly mild damp nights) with head torch on and pick them off the garden plants and drop them into a small bucket of salty water. I gave up on pellets and beer traps as they weren’t as effective …. You will need an old rag though to get the slime off your hands 😁
