And how did you do it?

I have tried putting seed trays on top of several bricks. Although it
has some effect, slugs seem to have no difficulty moving upside-down,
and given delicacies like delphinium seedlings, are only too happy to
get there any way they can. The only way to stop them was to keep the
plastic seed tray cover on all the time. I also put in half-a-dozen
slug pellets as insurance.
