When you transplant them they invariably suffer a bit of damage and the
smell attracts slugs and snails like displaying a large neon "Eat-Me"
sign. You pretty much have to put some slug pellets down as well or a
ring of copper or diatomaceous earth if you refuse to use chemicals at
all (the latter dust is incidentally *very* bad to breathe).

A wide barrier-ring of dry woodash works well, slugs and snails hate
crawling across it even when it's wet. Or, old dry dead bracken, mashed up
a bit.

My slugs and snails are less wimpish. I just have to hope for dry
weather, when they estivate.
