trying this out in my garden... quite like the idea of a non chemical
solution to slugs. Has anyone out there tried the nemaslug product.
apparently the nematodes used are very selective for slugs, and infect and
kill them, even below the ground.

Has anyone out there tried the nemaslug product.

I've found it works well, even on my heavy clay.

Me too, on good loam.

I've tried nemaslug and nematodes for vine weevil, got great results from
both.

We are trying the Nemaslug and NemaWeevel.
Also 30 ladybirds spread throughout the garden for greenfly etc.

So far so good re slugs, Vine Weevils and greenfly.

Where can the nemaslug product be found, and what is it exactly?
My garden is over run with slugs

Hi ged,
I have ordered it from greengardener (can order online at
www.greengardener.co.uk) and it is due to arrive on Thursday. I'm looking
forward to getting rid of them as they destroyed a bunch a marigolds that we
planted.



kind regards

Bruce

May seem a silly question from a relative newbie, but it's all very well to
trap lots of slugs and snails, but what do I then do to kill them? I can,
with difficulty, bring myself to crack snail shells, but what about slugs -
yuk - can hardly bear to think about them. Luckily most of the problems in
my garden are snails.

Regards, Aileen

Nemaslug is not a trap, but a lot of tiny predators that infest the slugs
and kill them off. You might see the odd dead slug on the surface, but not
many: I think they mostly bury themselves when they feel ill.

I found it quite effective: you do have to make sure you do the whole area
though.

Personally, I don't find snails a serious pest, so if I do come across one
eating something it shouldn't, I just bung it up the garden into a shrub.
If it survives the ride, it is welcome to all the shrub it can eat!
