Read somewhere that broken egg shells spread around the plants stop slugs.
Something to do with them not going over sharp objects.Suppose sharp sand
acts in the same way.

Hope I can get some advice. Slugs are eating my young plants, in
particular
my "Shoo fly". I have been using blue slug pellets. I cannot use them
anymore as a hedgehog is eating the slugs during the night and I do not
wish
to poison it.

My question is how can I stop slugs eating my plants or should I just
put
up
with damage as part of nature.
Thanks in advance

I have heard they like beer - if you leave a saucer or buried bowl with
beer
in, they can't resist, and drown. Don't know what the hedgehog would
think
to snail in ale though.
