The message
from "Des Higgins" contains these words:
Anyone got an opinion on either OR know anything else that works.
They don't like crawling over wood ash, so if you have or know
someone with a woodburning stove, save some to make a defensive ring
around each lily. Failing that, fine beach sand. I find they don't
like
crushed dry bracken, or roughly shopped comfrey leaves, either.
I just bit the bullet and bought some more Alu sulphate. It looks
harmless
enough (as long as you do not get it in any orifices)
and I have even seen it in organic gardening shops. For the
greenhouse,
I
will try half plastic bottles.
it has just finished raining here in the evening. I am going out shortly
with some gumboots, salt and flash light to catch some slugs and snails.

I think your last chapter is the more successful method of slug disposal.
However the species is under law protection, - I think, - so if a Bobby
shines his Peeler lamp upon you, your best excuse would to tell him you
are
straight out of the pub and micturation is of immediately imminence. He
won't be able to spell that so he'll probably put his pencil away and
shuffle off, muttering that he has an appointment with a big pie which his
favourite servant-girl holds waiting for him in a certain back street
kitchen windowledge.
