slugs new idea

[goldwolf]

Too late this year, having had bother with slugs attacking potatos for years and tried most things I wondered if you cut off the bottom of a pop bottle and put a few slug pellets in them and laid them down in the row before covering would the little fellows be drawn to them. anyone tried it ?
I thought it would keep the pellets dry

Try filling a net bag with gravel, Goldwolf. Bury it for a day or two then dig up and it will be full of slugs, rinse them off, rebury the bag in another part of the bed and repeat the process. You can have more than one bag on the go at a time. It's tedious, and you need to do it all season, but it does work and best of all you don't need chemicals. Those bags that oranges come in work well. This method is especially good for getting rid of those small, under-the-soil slugs which attack root crops. I discovered this by accident... far too embarrassed to admit how, but it was nothing to do with hiding the loot from a diamond heist... honest.

Where do I get seaweed from living 80 miles inland?
