We has a big country garden in Norfolk, and like to be a bit eco friendly, but we don't like running a cafe for slugs. Any tips on disposing of/deterring the little blighters which wont end up with dead other creatures? Evie

My father's technique involved a torch and a sharp hoe. The hedgehogs would usually dispose of the remains!

That has a big garden - maybe one could get some right royal green tips there .

apparently you can get mini electrified fences against slugs ... now that would be a garden themed action movie in the making!
