Ah, but you haven't got several dogs poking about to consider, have you Swim.

Re: Organic Slug & Snail Repellent

[QUOTE=Meg;1734130]Judd you can 'frill' the top the slugs can't climb over that.



You can now buy slug collars but they are expensive when you can make your own and they don't look great,



I like your clever invention, Meg.
You could go into business making those.

Clever idea but I'm not bothered about slugs in my garden, I don't have anything for them worth eating.

Don't you know that snails 'home'?

You have to take them out of town if you don't want them coming back into your garden!




By the way, does anyone have a humane way of disposing of snails?
I used to collect them in a bucket, but then never knew what I was suppposed to do with them next.


Anyway, I must have collected dozens and dozens, but the garden is still full of them, so there doesn't seem to be much point.

I used to have a racing snail and took his shell off to make him go faster but it just made him sluggish.
