I've set up a vegetable patch in my new house this year.
2 tomato plants have been completely eaten down to a 2cm stalk and the bean leaves nearest the fence are littered with holes.
I've got some containers out to trap the slugs and I've surrounded the patch with sharp bits of tiles and some sand in places.
What are people's favourite anti-slug methods?
I know you can put pellets down, but doesn't that attract the slugs from the whole garden down to where you put the pellets?
Also should I be killing every snail in my garden to protect my vegies?
