I use slug trap from Poundland part filled with beer and place them round the garden. I know family and friends who go round the garden collecting them by hand but the thought of picking up a slug turns my stomach.
i know that's why im try to find best way to keep them down
and thank you for your input
Lavenderlass, I've wondered about these slug traps. How do you empty them! Yukkk!!
Hi Poly-anthus, You're right they are yukkie but I'm lucky my hubby cleans them out for me, but if I had to do it myself I think I would as they do keep the slugs/snails of the plants,
Nematodes (only kill slugs) and organic wildlife friendly slug pellets for both the snails and slugs. Excellent results. I don't know why more folk don't use the organic pellets.
i ve surrounded my lettuces and cabbages with sheep wool horse hair and egg and sea shells this year no damage yet
I'm using a combination of egg shells and used coffee grounds on my veg plot. No damage as yet this year
sarahandrob..used that combination for years,always works well.
