Do slugs eat fleece?

[Florence Fennel]

As I had 8 siblings, you had to announce where you were going to everybody else so no-one walked in on you. I still do it today!

Don't know VC, but snails eat toilet rolls. Seriously, I have an outside loo (as well as an inside one) and I've found snails in there and the loo roll has been nibbled.

We still have our outside loo complete with its lead lined cistern and wooden seat, not spotted snails in there but I did find a mouse that fell in and drown.

In my garden slugs and snails will eat anything apart from eachouther.... hmmmmmmm... how about them using GM to create a slug eating snail and vice-versa...

I wonder how snugs feel about Polly Styrene? I've seen some tiles going spare.

i have some cuke in a 20 l polystyrene box that i take home from the restaurant after they delivery broccoli in it... and i can tell you that they love it more them a plastic pot...
plus i don't know if they eat fleece but they can climb easy... back in may i put on my strawberry tower some copper tape.. i was happy that the snail weren't in there but couple of night i put the fleece on top and i thought to hold in place by put the side of the fleece under the pot.. in this way they avoid the tape and i found 4 of them inside and 2 stuck on the inside fleece...

So, we still don't know whether snugs eat fleece! Unfortunately, I forgot to bring some fleece with me when I moved house today so the experiment is on hold until I can buy some more (£ shop for the last lot).
Unless anyone else would like to wrap a few snugs?

I wrapped one in some kitchen roll today.......very very tightly. Don't think it'll be eating it

Here's a novelty. I pricked out some PSB into 6 individual small pots and the snugs ate all but one, which I rescued. I covered the pot and the plant with an onion net (don't ask me why, I haven't a clue, it must just have been to hand, as you do). I left it in the same spot as before and it hasn't been touched, so they can't climb onion netting. Now, what can I do with that bit of information I wonder?

Thats funny,they climb up debrie netting ok,i wonder if it's the smell of onions,or is your net a little rougher than debrie

[veggiechicken]

Share it here? Oh, you already have, Thanks Flo
I shall save my onion sets from henceforth. Reminds me of my Grandmother's hairnets. Wonder if you can still buy them??

[Paulottie]

Slugs don't eat fleece; but they will get in around the stem hole and then be snuggly protected from you and predators....to munch away in a fleece cacoon

[veggiechicken]

I thought that too, Paul, so the plan would be a yoghourt pot lid around the stem, weighted down with soil, inside the fleece bag! Desperate measures!!!

They climb enviromesh too LD. I wonder if it's because it's light and soft? I'm going to try it again to see what happens.

That brought back to me a mental image of my mother, in rollers, with a pink hairnet over the top.

[veggiechicken]

My Nana seemed to wear a very fine hairnet all day long, and when she curled her hair she'd use pipe cleaners!
I've just realised that my hair is the same colour as Nana's was - time to buy in some pipecleaners and hairnets to complete the image!

Maybe they'll be full though after that? It's got to have more fibre in than leaves...
