I kep finding small grey coloured slugs in various places around the allotment especially among the radishes and cauliflowers, any ideas how to get rid of them?

Keep the faith.

Rictic.

P.S. A big thankyou to everyone who has taken the time to answer my previous queries.

I put seaweed whole and granules around plants when established or turn into soil before planting. Natural salts from sea do help.

I'm new to all this and I read about Nemaslug, so i tried it, it works brilliantly, but only for six weeks.  I have noticed the slugs are making a come-back slowly, but I reckon it was worth the £8 as I got a good crop of everything slug free.

Good Luck
