Re: This makes grim reading
You can also buy some products that have been banned for private use in the EU. Typically Roundup type weed killer in 5 l bottles that are only supposed to be sold to licence holding professionals.

I wasn't aware that the UK is the sole contributor to EU funds. You learn something every day! :sarcasm:

The government levies taxes, and borrows, to fund expenditure, GDP has nothing to do with that! |

I was thinking of copper sulphate and slug pellets. Quite useful when used sparingly.
It was overturned but why one would need it is beyond me. With so many natural home remedies, no need to use metaldehyde. Even a hedgehog would be the better solution but unfortunately humans kill them too. |

The only time I use them is under black plastic sheets. If I dont my lettuces are filled with slugs. I just put about 3 pellets next to each plant. Birds and animals cannot access them because they are covered. Advise me your best alternative solution?
