Although I have not beaten the slugs I have at least worked out how to

almost impossible to clean up) any suggestions amongst you experienced

growers as to how to stop it next year?
I should add that we can not move the bed they are to grow in as its
specially raised, our own soil being too high in Arsenic to want to grow
root veg direct in the ground (probably what caused our problems in the
first place as the raised bit is mostly composted veg matter. So do we


give

up? or is there a solution (preferable not toxic!)

I keep looking for a few hedgehogs for the garden!



If you contact your nearest wildlife hospital they are always looking for
safe release sites for hedgehogs.



It's only be safe if I keep the gate closed!
