i have attemted to grow lobelia but the snails and slugs destoy theme.
i can't use pellets as they might get in the pond
how did you stop the pests?

Bulk up your plant and there will be too much for the slugs to eat it
all. Ours gets some damage every year but is big enough to grow through
it.

thanx for that

what does "bulk up" mean


Make the clump bigger (by the methods describer earlier).
