Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that is not teeming with slugs

Thanks,

There were none in my garden in Ardwick.



I did not know they had gardens in Ardwick!


I did have slugs in the first garden I had in Ardwick but I also had
gits falling from the flats above, vomit, cans of lager and allsorts
of other detritus.

My second garden was so overgrown when I got it I think the slugs had
all perished because there was nothing nice to eat. I never saw a
snail in either though.

Here over in Oldham though I have snails a plenty though and lots of
empty shells.



How about the sandier the soil the fewer the slugs and snails around as a
general rule ?

There are plenty of slugs here in a country which is 95% sand.
