Snip

Sounds like a great idea to me Geoff, but do you have any probs with slugs
underneath the matting?

I've seen no slug trails and I think a few ripe strawberries lying on the
matting/gravel have been partially eaten by woodlice. I pick any attacked
strawberries and my springer Monty (Barred from that part of the garden!)
loves them!
