Slug and snail solution.
Jon wrote in message ... This is a new one on me, but seems like an excellent idea. Taken from http://www.permaculture.co.uk Winning The Slug War We have made a slug barrier that works. It uses no harmful chemicals and doesn't hurt the slugs and snails. We were able to use reclaimed materials for a large part of the input. The barrier is a moat made of normal household guttering and kept filled up with water. At night we can watch in glee as snails make a bid for the plants only to be stopped in their tracks. ((snip)) So how is this going to stop those soils dwelling slugs eating all my spuds? It's the worst slug/snail problem we have. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |

Slug and snail solution.

In a veg patch you can just criss-cross the barrier pellets so it actually even looks nice (if you've got an arty veg patch!). Guttering suggesting is fab - several people have had the same idea over the years. Again, neither of these suggestions will do anything to stop the soil dwelling slugs, those little black ones that eat all our spuds underground. I think for that you have to invest in nematodes.
