Does anyone have any good ways to deter slugs? Preferably without using
slug pellets.... My strawberries are looking really good and healthy but
I have noticed quite a few leaves are being eaten and there are slug
trails on them

Saucers of stale beer or Marmite in water or other yeast in water mixes.


Beer, OK. But Marmite? That's just out and out sadistic cruelty!
