Hawfinch, Patrick is great.
However he is continental USA, drier climate and bitter winters, fewer slugs.
This forum is based around a maritime climate where slugs accumulate under mulches such as leaves.
Gerry John has not said where he is from, perhaps it is continental USA in which case no worries!
Check the thread ‘Sheep wool as mulch’, where Oisin Kenny from Galway is struggling with slugs from wood chip mulches. Yet so often one sees wood chip mulches recommended, with never a mention of slugs.
