Slugs and snails

I am so impressed with this concoction that I feel I have a duty to broadcast it to everyone. I have been plagued for years with slugs and snails eating my plants, as soon as they poke their heads out of the soil, they are attacked. I have tried by Chrissie05

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

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: Slugs and snails

Talkback: Hibernating snails

...but what do you do with them after you've collected them? I can stomp on one snail but get squeamish about mass murder! What a good idea to have a snail hunt. As soon as it stops raining I shall be out there with a pail of salt water. Wow, havn by Anonymous

Talkback: Snails in the garden

Well some interesting comments above, I have had huge problems with my potted herbs especially the tender leaves of my basil... which have now been consumed by an army of snails. I have put copper round the pots, but this has not stopped by Anonymous

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

Talkback: Dealing with slugs and snails

the grapes very sweet this year. I'm sure feeding your chickens such lovely protein from your snails will give you very rich orange yolks in your eggs Pippa. I don't mind that but cannot bear them being squashed underfoot ps While I am collecting huge by Sophie33
