Slug Barriers

My lottie is surrounded by a wood chip path. Seems to be doing the trick.

It would be nice if you are right, Hubballi.

Seriously,  I have some of this myself but have not used it yet.  I will be awaiting your report of its successfulness.

There's quite a number of other methods on that link to try too.

I went out later and found one small slug that had crossed. The kale had been stripped this morning but the carrots had been left 2 nights running. I would say it has been pretty successful but you have to use a lot to good effect. Good for keeping off the larger slugs but the very small ones seem to sneak through the gaps. I will also put some beer traps out. I have never seem so many slugs and snails this year !
