I had so many plants slaughtered by slugs last year so decided to try the
anti-slug nematodes this year.
I have to say that it was a great success. All the plants normally stunted
by
slugs early in the season are thriving. Eight weeks on I just noticed a
return of the slugs, so I have just ordered another batch of nematodes.

I was worried that doing this would kill off the food supply to the many
frogs
in the garden but they too seem to be doing very well.
