Same here too, but needs must or it's all for nothing.

Lady Lottie, the Growing Success pellets are about as organic as you can get with pellets, apart from the 'barrier' kind. Here's more info on them which may help :

Thank you IWAA, reading that didn't give me the willies so I think I am still happy to give them a try. :)

Thanks for all the advice.  I DID resort to slug pellets but I don't like doing it and thought there might be a better way.  I am now burying beer traps too so might get the little b's either way!  Makes you so cross doesn't it though when you spend all the time nurturing your little seeds and they are gone in a mouthful!
