Auralie, if you mulch them with coffee grounds, you'll probably get rid of the slugs [unless you use decaf].

Umm, not to be too contentious, but from what I've read, caffein
does kill slugs, but in *much* higher concentrations than could be
leached out of spent coffee grounds. The latter might get them a bit
on edge, but no more. Is their any valid/anecdotal evidence to be had
about grounds vs. slugs ?
