Hello all
I have just planted a mix of herbs in a small bed in my
front green, this consisted of Rosemary & Time.
the reason I am here is my friend at work told me that I
need to cover or protect my Rosemary for slugs.
Can anyone enlighten me here.


Are you sure your friend meant the Rosemary, and not the thyme?

I have also never had a problem with rosemary and slugs, but I have had
thyme munched by them before now. I find that a mulch of lots of gravel
and a really bright sunny position is needed, as my garden is very wet and
there is a bit of a slug problem!
