Richard's Garden
There have been some damage from slugs, not much, just a couple of lettuce seedlings eaten. So I have decided to do something about them before they get out of hand, and applied Nemaslug.
I have
used Nemaslug before and they
were successful. Nemaslug are nematodes that are parasite to slugs. A few days
after ordering them a sealed plastic box appears in the post. You mix the
contents with water (one packet to 16 litres of water) and then water the area
to protect using a coarse rose. Slugs get infected with the nematodes and die
underground in about a week. The six weeks of being slug free is enough for young plants to get
established.
