Hi Charles, I’m from Stockport nr Manchester where we get lots of rain. Sadly we have slugs all over the place. Having watched your videos and read your books, I’m aware of the issue with slugs and wood lice with the leaves, wood chippings, under black polythene and wooden sides of beds.
As this is my first year of going to no dig I have used wooden sides for my beds with compost in but I will remove them at the end of the year.
I cant afford to create beds with 6-8 inches of compost over the whole plot in this first year.
I will therefore be forced to acquire cheap beer, and what I don’t drink will be used in slug traps. Methinks a lot of beer will be needed………. for the traps as well!
