not too many slugs this year as it's been too dry and after last years debarcle with the spuds ( I lost 70-80% of my spuds) I bought nema slug & haven't seen more than about 10 all year.still putting organic pellets around the brassicas though as the snails aren't affected by nemaslug apparantly and as they are all netted don't pose a threat to wildlife.don't be afraid to innovate and try new things
remember.........only the dead fish go with the flow

Nemaslug is a good product (although expensive) but only continues to work if the soil is damp, if it dries out then the nematodes die off and you're back to square one.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
