How can I get rid of the little gits that keep eating my lettuce plants - an
inch high and eaten overnight. :-(

I don't want to use pellets so what alternatives are there apart from not
growing lettuce?

Hello,

I hope you read this message, although it is some time ago that you
started your question.

I can recommend a so called slug fence, it stays for many years in
your garden. It is a galvanized metal strips (and corner pieces) which
prevent slugs from entering your vegetable patch (or flower bed), so
you don't need slug pellets in this part of your garden.

(there is a website www.slugfence.com)

I tested this in my garden and it helps ...!
