I'm sure I was listening to a garden program on the TV the other day and someone said they sprayed there plants with a weak mix of chilli powder to deter slugs  I have used a mix of both Garlic and Chili powder with a dash of washing up liquid and it seemed to work on my brassicas with regular spraying of the mix and the veg tasted ok when cooked not a problem I also sprayed round the base of the plant mite be worth thinking about trying that method ?

Has anyone used nematodes?
If so where from and how effective.
I've found them good for potatoes in the past but haven't used for years but think I will have to this year.

We use nemaslug on our potatoes.  It does a good job !

Worzel buys them from Nematodes Direct - nematodesdirect.co.uk

Another 181 today of various sizes. I reckon with a few hot days they’ll be looking for shelter under my planks, so should be a happy hunting ground.
