Coffee grounds and slugs

Having been reminded that coffee grounds are a folk remedy for deterring slugs, I looked it up online. Apparently it is illegal to use any untested product as a chemical deterrent. Mulching to add organic content is fine, though....... Ignoring the above for the moment, has anyone tried this and does it work? There has been some research into it's use or more correctly the use of Caffeine. Turns out it is a good deterrent but in stronger doses than in grounds. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2067214.stm -- Regards Bob Hobden |
