Hi Richard — Thank you for

[englishlady]

Hi Richard  —  Thank you for your reply.  I did not know that.  I thought just one teaspoon dispersed through about 3 dozen crushed egg shells would not be too harmful, but do you think it would have an effect even at such a small amount?

I was thinking about putting ‘collars’ around the individual plant stems and then placing the garlicky salty crunchy mix on top of those, is that likely to be better do you think ?

Or should I just leave out the salt?  Had no idea it was so lethal to plants.  But knew it was death to slugs.  I wonder if they like or loathe pepper ?

Determined not to let these vile slime balls get at my goodies…………

Thanks again

Julie
