Tidy job there Mr and Mrs W. I’ve tried that wool stuff very good last year. Will use copper tape on some pots as well. I found putting garlic or spring onions among my radish, carrots, strawberries and beetroot, stopped a lot of damage. Beer traps out tomorrow especially around my rhubarb, it’s been chomped to bits. Companion planting book I’ve got is what I’m doing this year again see how it goes. Barry your comment on my radish to let them be and be patient worked a treat they’re coming on nicely. Diolch yn fawr pawb Herms👍
Your gardening tips sound fantastic! It's always great to share experiences and learn from each other. So glad the radish are coming along well Diolch yn fawr for your kind comment!
Great video guys as usual. Up in scotland the slugs are trained by the SAS. 😂
We're glad you enjoyed the video! Your comments always make our day. You can be decommissioned from the SAS!
Love the videos i go out in the dark on slug patrol and catch hundreds of the little bliters
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Great to hear you are out on slug patrol!
Thank you so much for this video. It was very help full. I have a lot of slugs and snails in my garden. Perhaps they like to live organic 😊
I used the green scouring pads last year, cut in to 2 and a hole in the middle to go around the plant neck, it worked, I will be using again this year!
Hello Anita, lovely to hear from you! It sounds like a great hack for protecting your plants - we shall give it a try!
This week some gardening friends helped me clear a section of my allotment and we put up a 3x2 “blow away” tunnel. The frame is old but recycledable . The door zips are broken so I’m buying Velcro to sort them out. I got a temporary cover but it was covered in slugs which I washed off I reckon they will be back once I try to grow, so your video is spot on time wise. I’m hoping this will be a first step towards something more permanent. Thanks as always Pete in Sheffield
Thanks for sharing your experience, Pete! It's great to hear that the video came at the right time for you. Great to hear our videos are resonating with fellow gardeners like you - thank you for watching we really appreciate it!
my celeriac seedlings were reduced to stalks last week. I am not a happy bunny. I've done a 2nd sowing but they are not germinating well for some reason. I 'm hoping they will spring up within a few days. I could have cried 😞. My Hostas are staying relatively untouched at the moment, thankfully. Ground beetles are predators of slugs, so I do try to provide a good habitat for them. Also a nice warm compost heap will encourage slow worms which also eat many slugs. I don't put slugs and snails on my compost heap as I worry they will lay their eggs in there and when I spread the compost on my garden in the spring I will be adding small slugs? I often gather mine up from their hiding places and take them into the field across the road. I have read tht slugs and snails have a homing memory up to 60 feet so I take them in to the field about 20 feet to hopefully make sure that they don't return. I have hedgehogs in my garden, b ut according to he hedgehog trust, they will only eat slugs/snails if they are really hungry. Happy gardening 🙂
I'm sorry to hear about your celeriac seedlings, but it's great that your Hostas are doing well. Your gardening efforts sound impressive with the habitat considerations for ground beetles and slow worms. I'm sure your celeriac seeds will come through Belinda, we don't have any hedgehogs come into our garden and not many frogs but we do have newts!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 and hens! 🤣
Yes and hens! I didn't mention them because not everyone can have them but they do a great job on the plots!
Just what I’ve been waiting for Barry. Looking forward to this butt. 👍
Thank you for your support, I'm glad you're excited and I hope our tips helps!
iv got frogs and newt to help with the slug in my garden
Thank you for sharing this tip! Nature's helpers are the best solution for garden pests!
A great video on slugs & snails. I too use Slug Gone & Beer Traps & I also spray my plants (especially hostas) with home made garlic water.
I've been harvesting my asparagus & forced rhubarb. I can remember you planting your asparagus in your front garden. Are you harvesting any yet?
Happy gardening...Clare
I appreciate your kind words, Clare! It's wonderful to connect with fellow gardening enthusiasts like you. Great tip on the garlic spray. The asparagus is doing well second year now and still growing. From seed as we did this it will be another couple of years before we see a harvest - it's great that you remember!
I have graduated from the left over beer and lager can traps to yeast sugar and water left to ferment inside for a few hours then shared between lidded containers with four access holes punched in the sides at both ends of my raised beds. They went out a few days ago and have caught masses of the little chompers before they get to be massive chompers so maybe I will gat some crops besides beans this year.
Thank you for sharing this innovative solution to protect your crops. We must look into this. Wishing you a bountiful harvest this year!
I put salt around my raised beds on the outside and it can reduce the damge and I also glass mulch works well on a weed fabric for flowers and shrubs but also for Rhubarbs.
Hello, lovely to hear from you! I try to keep away from salt because it is not great for our plants if they get too much, but I have heard from other gardeners that this works - have not tried it so do let us know how you get on!
Applying some joined up thinking to two things you mentioned.. "they lay thousands of eggs" + "We put them in the compost" probably equals working against opperation slugmageddon, you're bringing them into anywhere you use your compost! All mine get free supersonic air fair into the SSSI over my hedge ;) I keep looking out for a slug infected with nematodes (the lump on their back swells up) so I can breed up some nematodes to spray around but they all seem healthy round here!
I appreciate your thoughtful comment and the effort you put into observing the slugs in your garden. You will have slugs in your compost naturally anyway. If compost is not wet and damp they won't lay eggs, also there are many predators like beetles in there that will eat them and they don't like the heat produced. The weight of the compost also squashes them and the slugs will be in the top half of the compost where there is fresh material. Great comment though - thank you we do appreciate you watching our channel!
Thank you so much for the time you both took to put this video together. I've def learned alot and am going to start my multi-angled defence this week! i do agree we need to keep a balance in our garden ecosystems, mine is heavily infested with slugs/snails since i only converted it to a kitchen garden last year, its still a work in progress. there are alot of hiding places for them still i need to work on. the only plants so far ive had completely unaffected are those i put in a little raised planter, i think i got it from Pomona fruits, the planter itself is made from a sort of thick felt fabric instead of plastic and they dont seem to want to crawl on it. i was sure i had won, then of course the cabbage white got to them and the caterpillars ate it all haha best wishes to you both and thank you again
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. It means a lot to us! Definitely a multi approach is the best strategy - get the balance right and all shall be well!
Another option I've had success with is a water garrier with lime dust in the water, I have 50 and 60 litre tubs sitting in the small blue paddeling pools you can get in argos or Homebargain as they are quick and easy to set up by simply putting some bricks for the tubs to sit on inside the paddeling pool and this will stop all crawling bugs.
Thank you for sharing your successful method, I'll definitely give it a try! Our grandchildren love the paddling pool and we can try this after they have gone back to mum and dad!
My beer traps went out yesterday after slugs went to town overnight Saturday on my poor seedlings I was planning to plant out on the Sunday morning, 2 weeks of work down the drain. I have no birds to help in the garden because of my cat, interested to try the copper tape next.
Sorry to hear about your seedlings! Slugs can be such a nuisance in the garden. If you are growing in containers then copper tape and the slug gone are a real help!
Once again a great video. I will definitely be trying the wool pellets with other methods. I do have all my seedlings in my poly tunnel covered over ( top and bottom) with netting and was considering making a frame - it does seem to be working but a bit of a faff. Once again thank you for knowledge and I look forward to Thursday . Have a great gardening week too. Sharon
Thank you for your kind words, Sharon! I'm glad you found the video helpful. I appreciate your support!
Well that 25 minute video flew by. I appreciate you putting in the work to produce this video. I hadn't heard of Slug Gone which I have just ordered. I also saw another YT talking about using planks which I will use once I have planted out my plants. Something I have done for a few years is use decoy plants as 'Feed' for the slugs, things I know they like such as leafy veg and certain flowers such as dahlias and marigolds. I use surplus plants for this.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your tips Ken! It's great to hear how you manage slugs in your garden. Hadn't thought about a decoy - The slug gone does work well let us know how you get on!

Hi it’s always going to be an issue coping with slugs like pidgeons sparrows et etc. one year my lovely swede plants were totally decimated all that was left was a tiny stalk. A whole row. I thought that was it for them but I layed rose bush cuttings that had thorns I layed them all around where the plants were I also layed them near my brassicas that were being attacked and it seemed to work as the swede came back and we got swedes miraculously. I have also used eggshells. Everyone would save my their egg shells🤣it’s not perfect but it does help. I have recently read plant mint near or around your plants or soak cotton wool in peppermint oil as it’s strong smell and the slugs and snails don’t like a strong smell. As we have an allotment we can’t go out in middle of night with a torch picking them off. But that does work. We don’t use any fertilisers or other chemicals on our plot or nematodes. We leave everything to nature. Sometimes we have disasters but usually we can make up for it. So like you said keeping the bottom leaves off the ground and pick up decaying leaves helps. Wool pellets do work but we try not to buy anything apart from a few seeds and a ton of compost. Anyway you usually have great successes in your garden so what you do must work. So let’s keep going working along with nature. 🙋🏻♀️
I appreciate your kind words and support for the gardening journey. Let's keep working with nature for more successes and you clearly have had great success!
Like you we dont have sides on our beds but we don’t have grass we have woodchip.
It's all about making the best of what we have, right? So long as we don't give them a bridge for easy access will help!
I had all my Strawberries in hanging baskets and yes it stops slugs but Vine weevil is the biggest problem with hanging baskets.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always good to learn from each other's gardening challenges!
Some say when you sow carrots lay a plank over them till they germinate but the plank draws the slugs and they eat all the carrots the tiny little shoots
I appreciate you sharing this gardening tidbit! And for the record I agree!
Give them some beer so at least they die happy 🍺😁 We don't have as much of a problem over here since we are generally hotter and drier than you in the summer. If we are getting a lot of rain and I noticed a lot of damage I use all-natural blend of iron phosphate. I don't use it as a preventative like some suggest though because usually they are not a problem and like you said you have to find a good balance. I'll have to look into the wool pellets. Not sure if we can get them over here.
Thanks for sharing your experience Frank! It's always interesting to hear how different regions handle gardening challenges. As you say your summer climate is usually drier and hotter than ours. I shall look into the iron phosphate thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tips, I was looking forward to your video today. One question, what to you do with the slugs that die in a beer trap? I caught lots that way last year but wasn't sure where to dispose of them. Thanks Jackie.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found the tips helpful! As for the slugs in the beer trap, I usually dispose of them throwing them in the compost bin.
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 beer too? 😄
Yes, there's not usually too much left so at least they die happy!
I tip the disgusting slimy mess onto bare ground; the blackbirds in particular seem to enjoy a serving of beer-marinated tender baby slugs.
iv given up traditional gardening in my garden, too many slugs. all i do is buy plants for the slugs to eat! spend months germinating and propagating seedlings for them to get wiped out as soon as i pitch them outside. very expensive in the end so stopped!
That must be so frustrating! Have you tried any alternative methods to keep the slugs away? It's such a shame that you have given up!
In putting your slugs in the compost, don't they lay eggs in there, which you then spread around your plants?
Hello, lovely to hear from you! You will have slugs in your compost naturally anyway. If compost is not wet and damp they won't lay eggs, also there are many predators like beetles in there that will eat them and they don't like the heat produced. The weight of the compost also squashes them and the slugs will be in the top half of the compost where there is fresh material. Great question though - thank you!
Wondering if the fluff combed from our dog would work like sheep's wool.
Thanks for sharing your curiosity! It's fun to explore new ideas. Give it a try and let us know how you get on!
It does, i've tried it
Sure gets in your eyes and mouth so hopefully stick to slug slime. Will let you know. Could be seeing a bald Poppy soon.
Thanks, going to give it a try.
Awesome, thanks for trying it out and letting us know!
Hi Barry and Mrs w nice to see you back to your normal self your seedlings 🌱 are looking healthy at the Allotment they are frogs 🐸 and Heagehogs I will do what you do on the compost bins put about 200 hundred onions in yesterday and repoted some seedlings 🌱 got greenhouse full of them put some late spuds in to hope Mrs w not using all your beer ha ha only joking well bye for now mate and Mrs w green fingers
Thank you for the kind words! It's always motivating to see the seedlings thriving. Frogs and hedgehogs munch their way through many a slug!
Slugs love beer
They most certainly do Sue and what a way to go!
If you put slugs in your compost, doesn't that mean you have tons of slug eggs in your compost?
i guess at least if the eggs hatch there as opposed to near your plants, the young will munch on the compost stuff rather than plants at least? :)
Thanks for finding the silver lining in the situation - and absolutely right!
