Slugs

[Garvey]

Has anyone seen a slug this year?

[Two_Sheds]

Yeah why - do you want some?

[ginger ninger]

Hundreds of the slimy little sod's and there friends...snails .

[chengjing]

Half of my potatoes have been eatern by them.

[Comfreyfan]

Not many! I went looking for some to take on an outing last weekend (fishing!) and could only find 3! Can only assume the sloworms, frogs, toads and hedgehog are doing a great job.

[rustylady]

Not too many slugs, but hundreds and thousands of b***** snails.

[hellou76]

Blooming hundreds of them both slugs and snails, so fr this year they killed 15 courgette plants 5 cucumbers and about 40 beans, I was being knid to them then but now its war.... out comes the slug bait.... Oh by the way I don't have any green crops left I think my slugs are faddy eaters they haven't touches my chilli carrots or tomatoes.

Whenever I get the train to work I take great delight on stamping on any I see on my way to work... they're usually on the way to my garden so I decide to nip the problem in the bud

[selfraising]

Not a huge amount down this way but am assuming that's because its been so dry down here.

[Edwardo82]

Hardly seen any slugs down my way, I think the harsh winter we had killed a few off. If anything I have found that the pigeons have been the biggest problem for crops, they seem hungry. However I have seen a load of snails on the rampage! I tend not to kill them as I have frogs, toads and hedge hogs in abundance on the plot and like to keep a balance. But it is annoying when you get your veg munched by the little beasties!

We have to let them be in my opinion too much interference with nature is not good! Sound like a hippie! :P

Very few until recently but with the recent wet weather they've all slimed out the woodwork - whenever I see any big ones I feed them to next door's chickens If anybody is feeling left out I'll send them a few in exchange for a SAE, PM me if you want to take me up on this

My neighbour found two in her front room ............

[SeleneMourie]

There are billions of slugs and snails up here in North Wales, They have all come to the sea side on holiday in by garden
Our 1st year of GYO was going really really really well up untill the almost constant rain we have had here for weeks

[Rabidbun]

Very very few, but I have around five frogs this year. Snails on the other hand...

[littleexperience]
