I'm on it Dove- my Nemaslug nematode assassins arrived this morning and I shall be inoculating my garden and allotment. I also bought some copper mesh a while back, AND I have every intention of using your tip about the plastic bottles!
The slimy critters have been at my broad beans, artichoke seedlings and even the foxglove and sea-holly!! I thought foxglove was lethal poison- how is it fair that slugs eat it and live to eat again??? Bring on the nematodes and away with this nonsense!

my 1st, whole house is windy in any spot but this will have the best impact next to frnt door so hoping they do well.
another next to my bonsai bench and hiding the water butt.
ill post hopefully when the flower
notcied 1 was drooping quite a bit yesterday, has done this before and i think just asking for more water
strange though as the bed i created it to hold more water and mulched over and we had loads of rain recently
ill replace it with backup if any issues. i want the 4 to get big and look good at this spot
ill have to watch the watering more before go to work at 530am
2 sever droop that hasnt risen up like would normally do if wanting water, looks like on way to being dead
2 middle similar but not as bad, some curled leafs is all
fingers crossed any survive and maybe replace with my backup any that die
gggrrr
