I was out last night and there was a whole mob of them hanging about looking real tough. Slopping about so they were, quite the thing, like they owned the place.
Tomorrow though, I will unleash the Lidl slug traps!! Filled with the amber nectar home brew. Glug, glug, glug - loadsa dead slugs!!! I'll get a few for you guys as well...

I found dozens of the little so and sos sheltering under phacelia (grown as a green manure). It was obviously a highly des. res. They seem to be very social blighters too - all cuddled up together!
I'm too squeamish to chop/drown them, but I did spinkle Slug Stoppa granules around. A good opportunity to try out this organic product? Has anyone else used it & was it successful?

Just had a clean up in the cold frame and found lots of little pearly things which I believe to be baby slugs as well as a mother ??? :o Squashed the lot and given to the birds.
There were lots under the pots too, they had stood on the patio for a long time last summer.
I am determined to hunt them down!

I picked up the water tank at the lottie yesterday as the water's back on, and I thought I'd clean it before refilling.
I now know where all the snails were hiding overwinter.
Heh. CRUNCH!
Not any more they're not....

While I nipped outside to er fertilise the baytree (been reading a book on liquid gold), I saw a few slugs which have now been despatched to mollusc heaven.

I have all my sunflower seedlings on the windowsills. Will stick them in large pots when they are big enough to go out. Don't like slugs ... >:(
