Will try that Plotter. I put crushed baked egg shells around some of my nicest Hostas and found that the ones treated like this didn't get as munched as the ones I didn't treat. Similar principle I expect. Thankyou.
Only been gardening for 3 years and that rain didn't put me off at all although it was a miserable summer. I grew plenty in the poly tunnel and planted out when they bloomed so I had an instant explosion of colour to enjoy under my umbrella.
Learned loads of lessons from last year and I couldn't care less if it rains that bad again cos I'll still get in the garden rain or shine.happy gardening people.
Had the same slug problems and due to lack of sun my annuals really struggled but then I had the benefit of having a late flowering of cosmos and antirinnhums which went on until late November. The fuschias also lasted much longer.
Still 2013 will bring different problems but also more unexpected delights.
