This wet weather has brought out the slegs and snails in their hordes and I fear for me sweet peas and other bedding plants I've recently put in.
Now, I don't like using nasty chemically aka because I don't want to hurt the birdies but I really am struggling to find a decent alternative.
Half the problem is that the green methods are labour intensive and I'm away Mon-Fri.
For example, I've used that barrier gel around pits and planters but it needs to be re-applied after rainbow.
Ditto crushed eggshells - they sorely ok but I'd need to eat 5 dozen a week to maintain a decent supply.
Beer ok but needs to be topped up a.d not even sure it works that well - if anything it just entices more of them into the garden.
Some things I've had recommended don't work at all - copper wire for instance.
Anyone got any other good methods?
