    tracey have you tried slug pubs? i'm collecting plastic bottlles and cutting tops off to fill with cheap beer/lager ready for planting out i'm also a bit evil and if i see a slug i pour salt on it, sorry everyone, am kind to everything except flies in the house and slugs!

    I've checked my SP's this morning and they are fine, no more eaten so today will put my egg shells and coffee grounds round them.  Thanks for the too Louise, it's not that nothing is working, it's just that I didn't do anything!!!  Will remedy today image

  • Perhaps worth noting that salt kills plants too.

    I was thinking salt leeching into the soil at some point.
