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.



Thats what I should do with my god forsaken Marmite. And Vegymite.

Give it to the slugs.

Thanks


If you lack the gene for it Vegemite will never be food, if you have
it then it is the first thing after mother's milk.


It's just a matter of having a privileged upbringing as opposed to being
deprived by not having access to yeast spreads.
