Thanks all, lots of useful information there. I use slug pellets, the non organic kind, I know they are frowned upon, but the organic ones dissolve too quickly, and from what I can tell if you spread them thinly, they are not a danger to wildlife. Also, I have found that a coldframe helps keep out slugs, hence raising seedlings in modules in a coldframe protects them from birds, frost, and slugs.

Does anyone start leeks in root trainers, or small pots, if so how many per pot? I normally sow leeks direct, they grow well, and require almost no care.
