Anti-slug Tips

1. If your slugs' favourite nosh is in a planter, smear a ring of Vaseline around it about 1/2way up: slugs can't grip a vertical slippery surface.

2. Slugs taste with their feet, and they hate coffee! Coffee-grounds dropped tactically around vulnerable plants will help keep slugs away.

3. Put out beer-traps in the spring, to keep the numbers down right from the start. The happy victims and the beer can be emptied onto the compost heap.
