Re: Slug control
Iam for ever tryiong to control slugs. In despairation I transplanted my
hostas to tubs and intended to mulch them with slug pelletts hoping to
confine their use to a small area as i LOATHE and DESPISE slugs and snails
but worry about the effect on thrushes.
I wiil try the copper strip around my tub. If it works i will be grateful.
i hope my slugs aren't too darned cheeky!
I often think they have mutated into some super monster strain beacuse they
have ingested so much colchcine from my autumn crocus which they shredded
about two years ago.
Will try protectiny my nerine flwer buds in autumn this way. The pesky
molluscs too them off at ground level a few years ago.
The bar stewards tht really annoy are the ones that aestivate up my
neighbours tree that i can't reach. isuspect them of sneak raids after rain
when off guard!
i am diigging up a broadleaved much loved Kniphofia as it provides
an unreachable safet haven for snails!
Sorry to go on but slugs are my bete noir !!!!!!!
