Frequently asked gardening related questions
Organic slug and snail management includes hand-picking (especially at dusk), creating beer traps, using physical barriers like copper tape or sharp grit around plants, and encouraging natural predators such as hedgehogs, frogs, and birds. Reducing damp, sheltered hiding spots and regular clear-ups also help. Organic slug pellets based on ferric phosphate are available as a last resort, but should be used sparingly.
