I use fresh cat litter about mine. Seem to keep them at bay.

I think they are meant to eat the bad leaves that trail on the ground or something. Other than that they seam to have consumed a lot of web space and served as a common source of anger for gardeners across the country. So I suppose they are like little slimy ambassadors really!"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." - Aristotle (B.C. 384–322)Comment

Sorry Flum.....thought that'd be a plus point for having chickens. Ours don't like 'em. When we got the girlees last summer I offered slugs to them and they pecked but didn't like. Thought they were just unknowledgeable cos they were young. Tried again this year - nope def don't like them! But they love dandelion leaves; grass; spring onions; tulips; broccoli plants.....practically most things in garden!Originally posted by Flummery View PostComment

Ours have yet to be thrown a slug BUT....
They loooove snails and am sure they'll get an appetite for caterillars too

They are very useful as detritivors (sp?). If they didn't eat rotting vegetation and dog poo, we'd be knee deep in itOriginally posted by Florence Fennel View Post
