Sheep it or Slug gone
Has anybody used the above, which are recommended as a slow fertiliser, but also has the added bonus of being an irritant to slugs and snails who apparently dislike the wool content of the pellets. Is it effective? Would welcome any comments by dmball

Newbie to Morning Glory
I've only tried growing Morning Glory plants once before - with disappointing results. Last year my entire crop of 5 inch high seedlings (about 50 plants) was chewed to the roots overnight by snails. I live in a rural area with lots of surrounding by Dinah

whats eating my runner bean leaves
Hi something is eating my runner bean leaves and having a real good feast on them... I thought at first its snails or slugs so put slug pellits down but they still seem to be eaten, even the really small leaves that are well over a foot off by flowergirl4

Eaten snowdrops
All my snowdrop petals have been eaten.  Would this be slugs and snails?  Shouldn't they be hibernating at this time of year? Have they been eaten or are they still lying there. Birds sometimes just peck flowers off and leave them. Doubt slugs by Caroline6

What is eating these chilli seedlings
seems to quite tally. Wondered whether anyone else recognised the same issue and knew what it was. I have managed to replant seeds and grow on indoors, my friend may not be so lucky so late in the year. Thanks Paul Slugs or snails ate one of mine. A few by paul_wright

Young perennials/seedtrays in or out of greenhouse?
& snails!   I'm thinking of putting them in the unheated greenhouse now to over winter. They're getting so sodden all the time they don't look very healthy.  This will also give slug/snail protection.  Good idea or bad? Sounds like a great plan to me. I by Lokelani
