    HID is an expert at killing them.

    In a few weeks our flower beds will be covered in blue pellets, and shrivelled up sluggies :eek:

    She is a woman possessed when the slugs start :eek:

    Taken at last light, the border today, we raked (well, dribbled) sand and sowed some grass seed. So we await either a) grass to grow or b) fat birds from eating all our seed

    I've heard they drown in a saucer of beer - or - shrivel and die if you lay down a salt line and they crawl over it.

    I use Vaseline for slugs and also to stop cats climbing over fences. Don't know what I would use if I didn't grow in pots though.
