(1) I have "off the air" so to speak for about 5 to 8 years;
Nursing a human person. We lost the fight.
Before that I lost my greenhouse crops due to vine weevils.
I have , more or less, at last got my house and garden and all
there-in
stabilised and back to the standard they previously were.

(2).......Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember, - way back in
time, - a Law coming into use which said that anyone caught killing black
SlugS would be hauled before the Courts and fined heavily The reason
given
was that it upsets the balance of the various species and deprives nature
of
keeping a proper balance among the "Grub" species , thus putting it out
of
kilter thus causing the upsetting of the true natural balance in the
earth's
soil.
Please note, :-
(A) - This is not a foolish joke.
(B) - I drink exclusively Earl Grey Tea and/or tapwater exclusively'
(C) - I am more or less sound in mind and fit in body and my financial
state is even better.
(D) - Hence, - I have no axe to grind.

It's a load of nonsense - or a foolish joke! And axes are a bit OTT when
it comes to dealing with slugs, IMO :-)
