I also read about making a homemade soup of slug destroying nematodes but that might be a step too far....unless the garlic doesn't work.Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245774393957298668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-16087120787886914072014-05-11T08:41:22.894+01:002014-05-11T08:41:22.894+01:00Our hostas are doing all right at the minute but t...Our hostas are doing all right at the minute but then we haven't got anyone adding snails to their pots.Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245774393957298668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-90486324536607981882014-05-11T08:26:14.946+01:002014-05-11T08:26:14.946+01:00I used a version of this last year for the first t...I used a version of this last year for the first time and had good results (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d26tyrTtvXA), the slugs didn't seem to bother with anything that I had sprayed. Also, it was very effective against greenfly and blackfly. You just need to remember to spray regularly.<br />Great blog.<br />KenRedblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302361590322581498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-66139133613924165272014-05-10T21:40:46.652+01:002014-05-10T21:40:46.652+01:00Thanks for this Martyn.

I saw a prog about hosta growers who did this, and if it works for hostas it works for anything!

I saw the littlest boy carefully putting a snail that was crossing the path into a pot of hostas the other day where it would be safe. So if it works I shall give it a go. A good way to use garlic that's sprouted as well.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.com
