The message

from Judith in France contains these words:

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?

I tried egg shells Rusty, that was a waste of time.

Hi Judith,

I confess I haven't tried this, but I've heard that slugs and snails don't
like coffee grounds. If it works, it would be great for you because they'd
be almost invisible *and* free - provided you drink lots of coffee or
contact a helpful coffee shop. Worth trying, perhaps?

I will tell my sister in England about the coffee grounds, she could
save hers up and sprinkle them on, thanks Spider.
