my neighbour says if i put my 'slug chewed' plant in a pot and then stand
the pot in a saucer and smear the saucer edge with Vaseline, the slugs
wont
cross over the vaseline. any truth in this please? or any other
recommendations of what arrangement to stand the pot in please? thanks


either copper strip or if you have a QD shop near you, they sell crushed
seashells which you sprinkle around the plants which slugs don't like to
cross cos the shards poke them in their little sluggy tummies.

I tried that, it didn't work.

Bugger.
Piles of shells on the beach a few mins walk from me :-(
