Just watched gardeners world and they went to RHS garden in DEvon where they combact slugs using an organism I think they called which eats at the slugs and leaves everything else alone. Fantastic I think it was a sort of eel worm they said.

They're called nematodes and are widely available.

And they don`t kill all the slugs.

But surley killing any is good

And they don`t kill all the slugs.

That's right. They kill this years young ones but not the big brutes. Still, it means there are less to breed next year.

Those that are left are still going to eat your crops.

and they are relatively expensive at about 9 pounds for 6 weeks protection

Not if I catch them with the back of me spade!

You are much better off using a LIQUID slug killer.

Now that's just a waste of good beer.............! 

[mumofstig]

Not beer..........a proper liquid slug killer

[peapod]

For me as a lotty holder and trying to save money in all things then theres no way I could afford them.  Seems a great idea and Im sure they help, but not within the average persons pocket IMO

[DavidT]

Slugit is the way to go.

My blue slug pellets kill 'em dead but I always make sure that the beds are netted so that hedgehogs can't eat the slugs after.

Where can you currently buy SLUGIT, I have been looking for it everywhere since reading about it on here.
