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

heloo every one
everything stage so I know what to off, what to keep or resite etc but I'm also keen to keep it as wildlife friendly as possible. We have squirrels, badgers, foxes, rabbits and a menagerie of birds every day so its going to be fun trying to find the balance by gail collins

slate soil and slugs
your soil, so that plants have a better chance of surviving. Site and situation are also factors. There are wildlife friendly slug pellets available which are effective if used according to the instructions. Sort your soil first. I have just bought 3 by jackie williams

Are these leopard slugs?
of slug it is, it will eat your plants, so kill it! According to this site (and several others) the Leopard Slug is the gardener's friend http://www.opalexplorenature.org/LeopardSlug  I didn't realise any slugs were useful. Will have to look out by Amy-new-at-this

Are sterile plants any good for wildlife?
't pull them out, its a lovely plant and I bet they weren't cheap either. If everything other thin in the garden is benificial to wildlife then a couple of plants wont matter.  Find a friend that has some foxgloves in their garden and pinch a couple by Lunarz
