Ever found yourself in the garden, glaring at a slimy trail that once was your favorite lettuce? Well, you're not alone in this snail saga gardeners have always had a continuous battle with slugs and snails. This spring is not going to be any different with all the wet weather over the last number of months coupled with a mild winter, slugs and snails will be out in force.  In this weeks episode, I share the gritty details of the war on slugs.  From clean gardening practices  which help. How to build up your natural garden ecosystem.  We navigate all the treatment methods, like sheep's wool pellets, organic slug pellets, beer traps, copper tape and many more. This episode is about fortifying your garden against slugs and snails, and we're here to equip you with the know-how to do just that. As the moon climbs high and the garden dims, it becomes prime time for some old-fashioned slug re-homing. Other husbandry includes using terracotta pot hideouts and embracing the ecosystem by welcoming frogs into your garden. We consider slug nematodes and we investigate how to maintain the balance between bug banishing and biodiversity. To cap it all off, we faced the stark reality of a garden left vulnerable after a slug fest, a truth I've known too well with my once-promising potato crop of 2023. This battle is more a marathon than a sprint, and we're running it together, learning to adjust and adapt our tactics with every season. From the challenges that a warm winter brings on pest problems the following year to doing the things that increase your chances of winning against this garden foe.  This episode is your ally in the ceaseless quest for a thriving, slug-scarce garden.
