I had some hostas that were constantly being eaten by slugs. It was as if they were a magnet for the rotten things.
When OH was redoing the garden this year, she said to get rid of the hostas but I though take them down to the allotments and perhaps they would attract the slugs away from my crops.
As I did not want to waste valuable bed space, I popped them into a tyre and left them to it. My neighbour even commented that perhaps it would draw the slugs away.
Well look at them, not a bit of slug damage.
So it begs the question of whether slugs and snails don't like climbing tyres.
Certainly my carrots and beets have had no damage either.
Has anyone else had experience of this?
