I actually bought custom made slug traps. 4 of them. filled them with beer and up to a point they worked. Only when i came to lift them to empty them one time, underneath were a multitude of snails from babies to mammoths. Theyd obviously been breeding right under the traps. That made it personal.
I've tried egg shells, Covering scrunched up tin foil with vaseline, Organic goo and copper strips. Its a jolly good job i'm not growing stuff for the money cos i'd be well out of pocket. But i do love to see my efforts bearing fruit.
I'm all the more proud of my efforts, because i keep the garden organic.Except when hubby's home on leave. He wont budge on the weedkiller issue.
