Hi daisydaisy

I seem to have all the slugs in the UK here in my little veggie plot in sunny [well, not to day] Lincs, they used to eat everything and didn't even have the good grace to do it at night but in the day as well. I had good results with an idea; I cut large or small pastic drinks bottles in to 4in high rings, coated the outside of the ring with a good thick layer of vaseline and pushed them into the soil so that they had the seedling in the middle. I did't lose any of the seedlings which had tha vaseline coller around it Stopped buying tha vaseline from the chemist though , get it from the supermarket now as I was buying so much. Minskey
