We have just purchased a slug fence for a plot 30ft x 20ft to
experiment, looks good so far.

This would be quite easy to make if you have a small metal workshop
nearby. And of course definitely non lethal.

But slugs come up through the ground too, they don't just 'walk' to
plants.


Don't be silly, slugs are not worms.

I didn't say they were.

They come up through the ground, they don't just travel over the surface of
soil.

Whilst they can and do bury
themselves in hot/dry climate, they do not move "walk" underground.

I didn't say that they did sigh

When you put your fence up you may well find a few appear in the
initial days, but you simply place these outside the fence.

I wish you luck.
