I read a very long time ago that if garden pots are sprayed around the sides with ...

... WD 40...

this stops slugs/snails eating plants.

(One of WD 40's many wonderful 'preventions and cures'.)

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!

will have a good look at this in a bit xx

Havent seen many since dry weather. But it going to rain tomorrow so will be back.

Thought I would nudge this thread up for Ladylol.

Oh sorry Treehunter, theyre so pretty and immaculate I wondered if they were the reborn babies people make! (blushes)

Have had them in our garden .but got a couple song thrushes & hedgehogs in our garden .so they get rid of slugs & snails .wouldnt put salt on them .cruel end for them .not a fan .but they are food for some other wild life Barbra :-)

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!!!

RomanyStar if you mean my picture its my twin grand daughters who are 7mts old. Savannah and Sian

Are they reborns in your picture? xx

:-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Paddy's racing snail was not winning as often as he used to so paddy took off the shell to save weight!!

but alas to no avail! only made him more sluggish!

Well there were alot up the road as well. Have duck end of road as have a cannel running along there.

Sandie they have got m mates runner beans as well and any other veg she is growing :-(

Edit... was told ducks would eat them.

Slugs haven't touched our Parsley, they make a bee line for the runner beans tho :-(

I'm plagued with them as well :-( :-| I've never in my all my years seen so many and such big ones as this year . I don't usually go in for useing slug pellets but this year I have . My OH has made a stabbing stick so he can collect up the ones I can't each at the back of the boarders ....... slug kebab anyone ???

Rosemary doesn't work - our Parsley is about 30cm from an established one.

Hubby uses that George...still get them munching away :-| :-|

Poison them with slug killer :-) :-) :-)

George :-) :-)
