I keep a few ducks and over the winter I let them loose in my vegetable patch from Nov to early March I never have a problem for the rest of the year,Thank God.Might not be practical for everybody but if at all possible it is worth it.
I'd absolutly love to hav ducks, but our bylaws don't permit, not even chickens!! In fact I guess I might not have a great deal of garden left if we did have them, but theya re so lovely!!
I cannot bring myself to cut slugs in half, I know people do, but nothing would perssuade me they didn't suffer dreadfully - I don't like them but couldn't do that, nor as Winterson says, could I pick them up - have done ot once or twice by accident - oh yuck!!
