The raised bed is an old mini digger track that I repurposed.
I bought the organic lettuce plants specifically for my rabbits to eat. They are organic like we are.
The slug pub is a Chinese takeaway plastic tray filled with some cheap cherry cider. All we need now is for the slugs and snails to have a last drink on us:
Do you have slug pubs in your veg plot?
I moved a plant pot yesterday and thought of you and your trick. There were a great many slugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby. Al Stewart sung about The Year Of The Cat. I think he could write another one: The Year Of The Slugs. They seem to be leaving my lettuces alone, for now. We will see. Thanks Debby.
ReplyDeleteLucky rabbits :) I haven't noticed many slugs in the garden this year.
ReplyDeleteYes they are lucky rabbits Jules. I have just given them a bucket of Nasturtiums for an early tea. They eat/mow the lawn in their run in return for the hearty feeds. It's been very bad for slugs and snails here. It's often wet and the take refuge in any vegetation even my empty plant pots. They are not daft.
DeleteOur slug pub is very popular. We get lots of big fat fellas in there every night.
ReplyDeleteOne of the big fellas isn't called Nigel and does have his own tankard JayCee?
ReplyDeleteI start out with the best of intentions, but never have anything left to pour in the tray.
ReplyDeleteI know Tasker. There's an horrible can of grog hiding in the back of a cupboard or some pop. Slugs and snails aren't fussy and have too much and fallover. It's a similar scene to any town centre on a weekend night.
ReplyDeleteFeck! Feck! And Feck! Another of my brilliant comments blotted out by Blogger defences. If necessary I use a few slug pellets but I might give your "slug pub" method another try as I have a can of "Christmas ale" in the fridge. It sounds disgusting.
ReplyDeleteHi YP. Christmas ale doesn't sound very appetising does it? I am sure the slugs would be in a festive mood for your grog.
