Our garden is overrun with slugs - all sizes and colours. They decimate the plants, flowers and veg- I've given up growing lettuce. The paths are literally crawling with them in the early mornings and the compost bin is home to hundreds. We have 2 ponds with frogs and lots of birds and signs of visiting hedgehogs but the slugs keep increasing. I use environmentally friendly pellets round precious plants (with little effect) but obviously can't treat the whole garden (it's over an acre).
On the whole I'm a nature lover but I would happily destroy the lot of them!
Any ideas?
