Slugs and snails

Talkback: Snail attack

I too heard of these marvellous copper rings. But still these snails cannot be beaten, what about salt on the pot soil, would that work? I think this year must be 'the year of the snail'. Every morning I go out and collect between 5 and 18 by Tariq

Talkback: Hostas, slugs and snails

I thank my lucky stars that we really don't have a slug or snail problem so my hosta's always put on a fab display. I think encouraging the birds into the garden helps us. I have grown great hostas in pots for four years now with no slug problems by N Freeland.Somerset
