Hi Nic, & sam1404, thanks for the info on slug control Nic, I’ve just read some of it, not all tonight. Well, I seem to have bought the wrong type of copper tape as it’s going to be too thin! I like the look of the copper mesh one. As from the info, I have no Hosta left at all and it was in a tub. I did start slinging the huge monsters out as suggested by sam1404, but then though I’m just sending them to another plant. Scrolling through Amazon, where the info took me, I also saw the beer trap ones. I did buy some green plastic ones years ago and never used them. I dread to think they may attract hogs with the smell and we would have drunken hogs wobbling about the garden! These grotesque massive slugs are awful and I’ve just read from that link that you can also get salmonella from them as well! I am quite torn now. I hate the things and have put about 10 in the salt box, which as I said is put well out of the hogs way and has a lid on the box. I feel awful when I do it as well. The next minute I’m running round picking up snails to save them! The electric fence idea I saw at a flower show once, but I now wonder if that effects wild life. Needs some thought, but thanks very much, best wishes.
