Pesky Slugs
Can anybody help me get rid of what seems like the entire worlds population of slugs in my garden? I began gardening two years ago and the first year was fab...lots of veg and flowers with very little attack from the slimy critters...ugh! but last by The Manic Slughunter:)

slug slime
There is a waste ground behind my back fence. An eco-friendly way of getting rid of slugs from my garden is to collect them by hand and lob them over the fence (though I'm sure they make their way back). However, I am left with a lot of slime by schubbs

slugs and snails
My compost heap is full of slugs and snails and I feel I am spreading these and eggs across the garden when I use the compost.    Any comments as I am so reluctant to use the compost on my veg. garden by Granny Evs

Continuation of slugs
I was looking for the thread on slugs but can't find it now, there is quite a few subjects on the forum so this is just a continuation of slug probs. I can't bring myself to kill them or snails no matter how much damage they did last year by Flower bird

Talkback: Slugs
I put out saucers with bran dot them around the garden then at night rubber gloves on and go collecting they head towards the bran and its much easier to pick them up - then they go down the drain!! Hedgehogs and birds are also predators of slugs by smokeyjack

Slugs and snails
Is there ANYTHING slugs and snails won't eat? Weeds. You have to put yourself in the mindset of a slug-there is a free meal on offer-you can have grass and weeds- chips if you like-or for just a bit more effort dine at the Ritz on our treasured by Lorraine Sharp

Slug Stoppa
Has anyone heard of or used this?.It supposed to be a wildlife, pet friendly Slug Guard. Ive just googled it, its a granule 100% natural and for what i quickly looked at £6.95 for three litres so not a bad price either. I wonder if its available by Cranesbill

Slugs and Snails
What is a cheap way of getting rid of Slugs and Snail. (l do find many Snails have been eaten) l have tried most things. Encouraging birds, beetles, frogs and hedgehogs  Beer traps work too, but it's a terrible waste of beer! With the lung worm by Dolly11

Slugs gone?
In previous years, my garden has been plagued by big fat slugs, which I believe to be Deroceras Invadens. This year, for the first time, there aren't any. Where have they gone? Has the cold winter/ dry pre-spring killed them off by elderberry
