Cos it was such a wet start to the year, great for slugs snails ,I'd do the ring of salt around planters, pots and does seem to work as long as it stays dry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It used to get them little black fuckers that got in the spuds and beans as well. I use the ferris slug pellets (Organic) they are okay but don't last long. Also you don't see any slim they crawl off hind and die so you don't see them working. But safe for birds and hedgehogs. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
