I have noticed that the nettles in my grounds & around my way are way bigger & further in flower than I have ever seen them before . This mild wet winter we had is really beginning to show up in the way all the stuffs growing in the garden & wild .
Beware , it`s gonna be a record year for slugs to
 
So I got this stuff called woolpack to keep slugs at bay went to check today and they had completely wiped out everything at 1 spot just 10 stalks left...........

I'm unsure what to do I would just walk away but the site in question had a lot of soil put down and I have more cuttings already hardened off that we're going to another site I'm thinking should I just replace the eaten ones and just step up the slug prevention with pellets copper mats beer traps etc.

What are people's thoughts.

Forget copper , it`s just too much trouble & pellets have drawbacks as they can indirectly kill other wildlife like birds & hedgehogs & need to be replaced if they get wet .
Beertraps in sunken jam-jars are the best bet as slugs can smell beer from a 100yds , just buy the cheapest beer you can find coz they ain`t fussy . I have used a 6in wide ring of sharp-sand around plant stems to some effect . All the good gardeners &knowledgeable people have said it`s gonna be a record year for them so we all have our work cut out .
One other option is nematodes , little bit expensive but 100% effective , check www.defenders.co.uk

Just been into defenders & they are out of stock of slug control because of the high demand .

Buddymate, you are a fucking hero and I still making myself the idea that you are gonna pull this trick off in the middle of UK, hats off mate!!

I can not belive my eyes... everyweek I wait for your updates, because they never let you down, I think you are living the dream of many of us, doing a guerilla of this magnitude.
