You could always recycle them, I wonder how many were used to make a pair of trousers, gross but true.

Am i reading this right!!! Recycled slugs...... Yuck

Suppose it would make the trouser easy to slip on !!!!!!

Excellent, round one to me. Put organic pellets (B+Q) down last night and found 20 dead ones in one raised bed alone.

No new damage to plants either.

Have covered all beds as there is a big frost expected to start tonight going into the weekend.

Yep, I read in an old copy of Permaculture that they make great "leather" and that some guy had dried them out in the oven (ewww) and skinned them and made a pair of trousers out of them, which are apparently water proof.

Personally it makes my skin crawl thinking about it, having skidded on one that came up through my floorboards a few weeks ago, but it takes all sorts I suppose
