slugs eating onions!

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

Put our onions to dry in the greenhouse and they've suffered an epic slug attack, real tunnels, Jurassic Park sized slugs tucking in. I have never seen this happen before. We've brought them home now but had to trash quite a few!

I hope I dont get any of those slugs, onions & garlic seem to be the only thing safe from them in my garden. Poor you! Do you know which variety, so we can avoid it?

Wow! It seems as though slugs are having a field day!

There were three varieties of onions, they ate them all. As to the variety of slug all I can say is big and orange. :twisted:

Well I suppose the French have been cooking Snails with garlic for some time. Guess it's time for them to get their revenge!

I have had the slugs eat nearly a whole Rhubarb leaf. I thought it was toxic to them! There are some superslugs and snails about this year. Hiope I don't meet one down a dark alley!
