Splatter
Fish Fanatic
Well guys...I'm sad I managed to grow some beautiful marigolds in my greenhouse for 4 - 6 weeks untill most were about ready to flower, I'd planned to put them outside in the front garden as it was looking barren (It tends to fill with bluebells in the spring and after we rip them all out the garden just looks...Terrible, all the remaining plants are either dead, or straggly )
Anyway, so I put my marigolds out in the front garden a week ago, I went back to check on them yesterday and I found that out of the 20 or so I'd put out there, all but 3 had been absolutely decimated by slugs (seriously, only the stalks were left...And these were huge plants). In a sort of terrified mind set, I salted the ground around the plants. After the salt sort of set around the plants I added some fertiliser and watered them in a hope of improving their look.
...Well it killed the slugs alright xD Unfortunately half the plants died with them. Does anyone have a good idea on how to kill slugs, without salting the ground? You will be my hero forever and always
Thanks!
