Slugs and snails particularly love feeding on young plants as well as hostas. Rather than using pesticides, a gardening expert has shared how to deter the pests using natural methods.
Slugs and snails are two of the most troublesome visitors all year round in gardens, as they wreak havoc on any plants they set their sights on. Although it was decided in March 2022 that the RHS would no longer class slugs as pests, many are keen to stop these creatures in their tracks when precious plants are at risk.
Slugs love certain plants but especially asters, delphiniums, dahlias and salad leaves. Banishing slugs and stopping them from attacking plants can be tricky but there are ways to get rid of slugs without using harsh chemicals.
Slugs can wreak havoc for lovers of gardens. Those countless hours spent maintaining their outdoor space, planting fruit and vegetables can often be ruined in an instant by these creatures.
