seem to have the slug problem a bit more under control at last. The secret is threefold - relentless slugging for a week at dusk (often in the rain) netting about 1000 of the little buggers, wood ash round the newly planted out seedlings and then organic slug pellets.
Oh I've written on my blog so often about slugs! We've found the green plastic 'slug collars' sold by eg Natural Collection and sometimes Chase Organics and even Thompson and Morgan to be fairly effective. We also use silver sand...
ReplyDeletethanks Roselle - you'll see I kind of lost heart for the blog after such slug devastation but we're still here and still trying to grow stuff and husband animals and fowl :)
