I don't notice the slugs that much because I always plant a bit extra for the wildlife to steal which is inevitable. We get slugs but not to the extent you have in the UK, especially now in the cool wet weather when there's little else around for them to eat. We're just buried under 2 ft (.6M) of snow. Just let the little beggars work their way through that! But if we get wet summers (rare in the last few years) then we're on regular slug alert and all mulches come off. Rabbits, however, are a nuisance whatever the weather. A local hawk, who still hasn't had any luck with my racing pigeons, settles for the rabbits instead. Would poly tunnels closed at both ends help now?

Actually, I do. I have a h.d. pellet rifle with scope, and a removeable window screen. In my case, the grackles, starlings and squirrels raiding my wild bird feeders seem to get in the way and.....  :twisted:   Got so many last summer that OH was complaining about the piles in the burn barrel every week. Eat the squirrels? URGH  :!:  Why bother when my sis raises all our 'organic' beef and poultry.
