After taking some advice, I have been popping today's collection of

But now what?

A silly question perhaps but what do people do with the resultant
carnage? Pour it down the drain?

You leave it to set and you've got slug jam.
Put it in the bin. Probably best sent to the tip.


I asked a gardening keen friend at work how he dealt with slug and snail
disposal and he told me his mum (when she was fit enough to garden) used
to fill an old fabric softener bottle with water and pop the critters in
that. When the bottle was full the lid was screwed on tight and it was
then put into the dustbin for the bin men to collect for landfill. :-)

And the most votes at my workplace, when I revealed I tended to go on
the hunt after dark, was to just throw them over the fence.....
