Slugs & Snails



Tackling slugs and snails seems to be a multifaceted approach, you just need to find out what works best for your plot.

People have tried the following:-




Strulch
Mulching
Beer traps
Nighttime removal of said pests
Wool matting / pellets
Sacrificial planting (lettuce, brassica babies)
Eco / wildlife friendly slug pellets
Crushed egg shells
Copper tape / wire
Diatomaceous earth
Prickly / brambles fencing
Removing hiding places
Adding a hiding place you can control
Slug nematodes
Garlic spray
Coffee grounds
Combining a few of them should give you a fighting chance! The bigger the barrier(s) the more likely they will look elsewhere!
Good luck! And let me know your winning combinations ðŸ˜Š
