Slug Resistant Compost?

[veggiechicken]

Its one of Bigmallly's brainwaves - you'll get used to them

[lottie dolly]

it would be handy for seedlings,BUT,as the plants grow,and leaves sweep the ground,not to speak of the open soil after planting out,they will get them,i wonder if a potion would work,like a tea made with any of those plants,then watered on and around the plants in the open soil,or lay some around the pleant,or even grow some amongst the brassicas,

If I remember (and that's a big IF) I'm going to cut the montbretia leaves off and lay them around my squashes - but you may have to remind me that I said this

You might need to chop them up a bit incase its the montbretia juice they don't like. I have my own distinctly nasty method of dealing with slugs and snails..... but i'm a murderer!

Did you ever do this?...............cos I've just chopped a load up & put it round the beds. I've also started a Montbretia Tea Potion so will see how it goes. I don't think the tea will deter slugs but may make a feed.

No, I forgot - but I still have plenty of Montbretia if you need more

Oi! "Egg Head" ..........

You got far too much time on ya hands since you retired obviously!





Very late for me! But all for the "Cause"

I have been kind of thinking the other way around I am wondering if you scatter stuff you would normally compost around you plants whether the slugs would eat that and hence leave your plants alone?

I am not sure about this though because you might also build a super slug army, but it is something I
am considering.
