STUMPS! You had stumps left? Your down south slugs arn't as efficient as our North Walian slugs, they eat the stumps and pull the roots out to eat them like spaghetti

Where as Leicestershire Slugs are more refined, they just eat rings around each Courgette fruit they come to then move on.

our up north slugs are more like snakes

**Snadger** · 15-07-2009, 08:24 PM

Just to go one better...........We have two legged slugs around here would have taken the growbag contents and all!

|My slugs seem to prefer next doors peas,they would be welcome to my courgettes,ive had enough already

**Lemon** · 15-07-2009, 08:46 PM

OMG! So sorry to hear that Maximmilian!

Hope the other courgettes come on instead!

I must be truly blessed. See the odd slug but never had a problem like that with them.

Too cold up there for em? Slugs in thermals?

**Maximillian** · 15-07-2009, 09:01 PM

Well. You've all made me smile. Frankly, sod organic, they're getting salted next time I see em. I live in "sarf" London and our slugs carry flick-knives. Sorry that was really in bad taste :-)

Had to giggle....sorry Maximillian!

Well this morning saw about 30 dead snails and slugs in all the pots. They'd had a nibble first though. Got to drag that growbag elsewhere before it's too late I think.

**Redic87** · 16-07-2009, 05:14 PM

well done Maxi the slug n snail war is truely ON.

**kate&rob** · 17-07-2009, 02:02 PM

has anyone tried nematodes? i have, in previous years, had a slug problem with my spuds, and was going to try them but would appreciate anyones feedback.
on the spud issue though, grew kestrel this year and dug up 3 plants and they dont seem to have been had (hope i haven't spoken too early)

We had a massive slug problem last year and tried nematodes. I have to say i was a little skeptical at first but they worked like a dream. Got a bumper crop of veggies and this year i have barely seen a slug

I'm sure they will return but at the mo it is 1-0 to me
