    My poly tunnel is surrounded by chickens and immediately next to my land is a school environmental area with ponds and an army of frogs /toads so I only get the most determined slugs and snails but after reading a previous thread used the cardboard trick and the little slimy bleeders fall for it every day – Every morning I lift the cardboard and put into the chickens domain and every night I replace it.
    Full proof

      critters of the slime variety

      I have a slug and snail problem...... They keep coming!!!

      I have a dog so can't use pellets, tried the beer in pot sunk into ground..... caught the dog having a drink!!!

      i have 4 chickens so have ample supply of egg shells, just wondering if this really works? or if any of you have tried and tested means of repelling these pests?

        Everytime i go to the barbers i come back with a big bag of human hair. I put this around my plants in pots, it keeps the slugs off as they don't like the feel and also eventually rots down feeding the soil
