Does putting small diameter gravel (1/8th. to 3/16ths. on top of
compost in a plant pot deter snails and slugs from attacking my plants.
As far as slug pellets are concerned I have tried them and they always
seem to get buried under the compost when I water the pots.


I've just put copper tape around all my pots - looks quite attractive as
well, apparantly the slugs get an electric shock and just crawl back down
again!
