Many Thanks, this was Great. I've learnt to live with both slugs and the dreaded dandelion. My garden is in rural Roscommon and if you simply work with what you have it makes life easier. By not trying to control nature you actually get so much more biodiversity. Keep the mowing and chopping to a minimum.
Great advice and knowledge. When it was mentioned that oversized bug hotels can be a bad thing, I knew this person is at the forefront of modern thinking on ways people can help nature. The part about the amount of insect roadkill on cars also was an eye opener. Many thanks
47:44 About slugs. I had a battle with slugs last year and the only thing that I found to be effective was a slug fence, it doesn't kill them. I tried all the different methods and spent hours researching the problem. This year I won't use a slug fence, I will just grow plants that slugs don't like to eat as batteries for my slug fence are expensive and are definitely not good for the planet.
