I tried organic methods, once, of getting rid keeping slugs and snails
off my plants in pots, but, they were in the soil, I handpicked
several times but they still came back and I resorted to slug
pellets. On my parents grave, I have an awful problem when putting
fresh flowers there, within a couple of days they are almost eaten!
They are buried in a lovely old flint walled churchyard and I don't
like to throw green pellets around, any tips???


Throw blue ones?

The problem in the country graveyard where my parents are
buried isn't slugs, it's rabbits, so slug pellets wouldn't work...
shotgun pellets might!


Ah there I can help. Have operational 10 bore, a big stack of rifles
from ·22" to (wait for it) 4-bore.

However, I think that the slugs from the last might be a tad unwelcome
in a graveyard, being an inch in diameter, and weighing-in at a tad over
a quarter of a pound...
