Slugs again

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

Hi all,

RE: slugs & snails,


I've used the "Growing Success" slug pellet,

http://www.growingsuccess.org.uk/detail ... ug_Control

for 2 seasons and believe it works. I’m comparing it to other areas of the garden (in frames or netted) where I use the “meta” pellet and find slime & big DB’s on a regular basis.

1.00AM just had a sweep over the garden with a torch (no I don’t do this on a regular basis, got back far too early from the pub and nothing better to do!)

The areas around crops which I’ve spread them over the last 2 months: no or minimal s&s activity noticed, however, untreated areas away from crops such as the compost heap, lawns & paths are busy with slimers.

Anyone else used them, or not??

and “no” I don’t work for them – just slightly manure faced at mo - hence the nightime garden expedition.
:wink:
