Ha Needs must innit! I found one in the house this morning, quite away from the back door and no slimey trails. I think they must hitch a ride on one of the cats
Evil fucker. I have given it a good seasoning with the Maldon
No wonder I struggle to keep plants alive round here. I just want to know how the fuck it got in without me even noticing. And that mat's coir - supposedly they aren't keen on it
I think you should have put a sheep next to it for scale. One with a suitably horrified expression.
Anyway, if there's one thing I've learned about slugs it's that they love confounding stereotypes. Someone will tell you categorically that slugs won't cross copper wires...you put some copper wire round your bean plants, and the next thing you know is that there's some damn slug doing the old horizontal bars act on it, while his mates slime around clapping and cheering.
I have just completed slug Armageddon round my raspberries, after I was disgusted to find a tress of fruit absolutely smothered in the little bastards. Out came the metaldehyde and the beer traps, bash the shells of their raspberry-borne snail brethren with a trowel and take some scissors to the slugs. I am not a violent man, but I hate those freeloading slimiferous bastards.
So I now have an assortment of dead slugs lurking around the raspberries, pour encourager les autres, including some absolutely bloody massive ones.
