Herbs generally are too strong flavoured for slugs.


Tell that to the slugs in my garden !

I did have one red
flowered lavender get devoured by slugs but i doubt they would ever
bother a robust ordinary type of lavender. Or thyme.


I have lost bronze fennel, sage, angelica and basil to slugs (although
the last might have been caterpillars). I find slugs on thyme but they
generally do not do enough damage to be a problem, similarly oregano
and marjoram seem to be relatively slug proof. I have never had a
problem with slugs even trying the rosemary.
