Using Oats to CONTROL the SLUGS & SNAILS in Your Garden! 

Control Slugs and Snails Using Oats
There are so many theories that proclaim they are the best way to deal with slugs and snails in the garden, but all seem to have drawbacks, for example DE needs to be dry so can't work on damp soils.
Slug and snails do like, and will eat oats or bran. In fact, this video shows just how much they will eat - they do not stop till full.
Once inside their system, the oats begin to absorb the slug or snail's moisture, expanding as it does so, until eventually the slugs body can not contain the swelling any longer and simply dies.
A simple but effective way to control these critters in our growing spaces.
