Well, I've always been a bit dubious about beer traps for slugs, but as
the weather has been so wet recently and my tomatoes are seriously
under seige, I thought I'd give it a go. So yesterday evening I put out
a half-pint semi-buried in the bed, went to check it this morning and it
is literally FULL of slugs. There's got to be thirty in there!

Disgusting but satisfying. Onto the compost heap they go!

I read in the French version of the Which? magazine today that beer
doesn't actually kill them. Just seems to make them drunk enough not to
be able (or not want!) to get away.
