Oranges, never heard of that one!!!!!!

See my post on "slug deterrent non lethal"

Well, it does work. I started using orange peel two or three weeks ago
in one part of my garden to see if it worked. In the veggie patch I
used commercially produced non-toxic slug deterrant.

Whereas before my herbs and strawberries were under constant attack by
slugs, they now feast on the pith of the oranges and leave the other
plants in that part of the garden alone.

They seem to prefer pith to plants.
