	I've got loads of slugs & snails, and can't do anything, other than pick them up (which I don't do) In theory, I shouldn't have any - I've got hedgehogs and sloworms in my garden - hence can't use slug killer. I tried the beer - until I found a drowned sloworm....... Watch what slugs you kill- Leopard slugs feed on decayng vegetation, (not young plants) and other slugs!!!

	Not sure if I heard that copper wire stops them getting at plants if you put some on the edges of your pots. Probably, why there are loads about - all the copper has been nicked! Dee
