And if you want to keep the slugs off your precious plants without chemical warfare, then just type "slugs" into the search box, top left of the page, to see what I have to say on that subject - moated beds, and moated greenhouses is the way to go!Rachel the Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025126472323801610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736928270390224037.post-2858391255466615292020-12-11T10:45:00.745+00:002020-12-11T10:45:00.745+00:00WOW!

I have been wondering what I can put into my troughs and I never thought of horticultural fleece, which I have loads of :-) Thank you so much, brilliant idea! My garden is slug world! I can't kill them as other wildlife might depend on them for food! Many thanks!Twizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091526373690260096noreply@blogger.com
