i think that someone said that anything that is hard for them to crawl over.....stuff like egg shells are pretty good.

Putting a pinch of salt on a slug is very satisfying

Improves the flavour does it Andrew?
Missmuck - you could just try planting things that are not prone to slug damage - don't know what the conditions are like, but lavender is never touched, Phormiums, Camellias, Euphorbias, Cistus, Lychnis - the list is endless.

I'm going to jump in with my nematodes again! They really do work very well, but you have to start in the spring and apply them about every 6 weeks - so, for next year, perhaps..? Green Gardener and eBay (as well as others) have suppliers.

Have a look at my blog on Snails and Slugs
