Sorry Orchidlover, I was so busy thinking about Pansies I missed your post. You are right it was your idea! Well done it's a great one at that.
So to prove to Admin that it's a serious request my first tip is.
How to keep slugs off plants.
My dad always put saucers of beer (not lager) out for them. He would push the saucers down so they where level with the soil. The slugs would smell the sweet beer and next morning there would be lots of dead slugs in the saucers. I hate the idea of killing the slugs,(God's creatures after all) but at least it was a nice way to go - in a drunken stupor
