Top Tip..Slugs

A fabulous top tip from Pagan on FB regarding slugs..we all have trouble with the little buggers and as the weather warms up so do the slugs..I've always had conflicting thoughts regarding this pest..in my last house I was absolutely over run with them..I ended up having to do the old beer drowning method of controlling them to protect my crops..however, before it comes to death by beer this year, I will try this top tip..

sliced cucumber in aluminium bowls/plates..apparently the cucumber reacts with the aluminium ommiting an odour which has the slugs slithering  for the hills at the speed of slime!!

Will deffo repost in a month or two with results if this works..Thanks Pagan! (-:
