Hi Folks,
I have a small front and back garden. I have put a lot of work into it and it looks good with many different flowers growing throughout the year.
However I have a huge slug problem, in that they can eat a newly planted bedding flower in 2 days (right down to the stump).
I am hesitant to use slug pellets as they supposidly kill more than slugs and the whole idea of mass slug and other small creature killing does not sit well with me as they all have a part to play in the garden.
What I need is something that can either keep them away from certain areas or from certain flowers and is non toxic, any help would be much appreciated.
