hi all,

last year slugs were a really bad problem for my DL's

I tried several 'home&garden'-solutions, but none of them seemed to work.
We had a very mild Winter and I've seen the first slugs around my growing DL's already... Grumbling

This year I'm going to try the 'natural enemies'-approach: as soon as the ground is warm enough I'm going to apply nematodes Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita

They are supposed to invade the slugs and secrete a bacteria that kills the slug Thumbs up
ánd they are safe for plants. birds and other animals Big Grin

a DL flower a day keeps the doctor away
