Before you kill those slugs...


Also in NEW SCIENTIST magazine, a reader wrote the following letter:

"Slugs (29 July, p 34) are also good at removing burned-on food.  I once
left some potatoes to boil dry.  The smell was nasty, so I dumped the pan
upside down in the garden.  It remained there for a few weeks and when I
decided to have a go at cleaning it I found that slugs had already done the
job.  (Note:  The pan was subsequently washed).

Since then I have often used this method of cleaning.  It is particularly
good for overproof glassware that has burned-on brown marks."


So you see, if you provide slugs with alternative food sources, perhaps
they'll leave your garden alone!
