Cannot believe how many things have been lost this year...blooming mild winters!!!!

[miggs]

Yes, I have got a couple of words I could use to describe the little ..........
Every time I hoe I just leave behind a few pellets for them to enjoy. Yum Yum.

[Auntiemogs]

Yup.    Never used so many pellets (glad I bought them on offer)..

[Spr0ut]

I did think it was going to be the Year of The Snail and Slug this year so I bought in more of their favourite little blue cakes just to make them feel welcome.

Strange, as I have found the slug and snail attack to be very mild this year.
Not really found many in the yeast traps or under stones.
The crops have been pretty much untouched, compared to the last few years.
One new thing I have done this year, apart from spreading more of my homemade nematode potion over my potatoes, is I have planted Kale near my beans and around my other brassicas.
Read recently that kale gets ignored, but it looks as though they are ignoring everything around it too.
A happy bunny so far this year.

Pellets are on offer at wilkos. Will be getting some more as little sluggy has had his last lettuce 

[chickpeacurry]

You can get blue slug pellets and organic ones for a pound at pound world.  I used the whole thing.  Plants are being eaten at alarming rate even potatoe foliage.

We went to the allotments yesterday and my 7 year old daughter is devastated - her courgette plants are now just stalks in the ground
Would you say blue pellets are the best way to deal with the problem? Or are there any other sneaky tricks you guys have?

[loafboy]

A mixture of using blue pellets and burying jam jars full of cheap beer (cut price bitter does the trick) seems to work for me.

[dalemellor]

We've even had spring onions demolished.....never had that before....blue pellets all the way for the rest of this year and then fingers crossed for some good frosts in winter. Cant believe im already thinking about winter.

My seven kale which are now nothing but stalks have something to say about that lol

Just adding that it's apparently the yeast in beer that they like. Last year we baited our slug traps with a little yeast and sugar dissolved in water and they flocked to get in.

I hate to see beer go to waste .... and you can make up small amounts of yeast mix very easily.

what about pigeons?  They can strip kale to stalks too.

[pigguns]

I lost all my leeks and onions, and anything direct sown.  Definitely slugs.

What's the betting the spuds get a hammering.....
