Super Fruity!  Come and get it, slugs!

 

Been making a few slug traps for the GG plot.  It's a matter of using what's to hand.  These have lids to keep out some of the Welsh rain.

Also heard that beer is not required - it's the yeast that attracts them - so they'll be filled with a mix of yeast, sugar, flour and water.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Slug collar and a 9v battery/copper wire electric fence around each of my pots , seems to have worked outstandingly well this year. First time using them, looking flawless so far.

 

Had the collars on for about a month before I set the fences up around the edge of the pots, so they got a chance to prove themselves on their own.

anti slug:

 

vaseline mixed with ordinary kitchen salt.

 

cheap and effective.

 

 

 

copper tape fades away in 1 year....i found it to be expensive and not realiable.

Has anyone ever had an irrigation line like a long run of hosepipe to and around a plot? And any issues with rabbits or voles chewing at it? Planning on leaving it out all season

Has anybody ever had any problems with being discovered from the air? Not so much drones, but police helicopters? We get a few round our way. Any tips for disguising from above?

 

We’re going to plant in a more natural fashion ie not in rows but more scattered around the plot.
 

We are not turning the whole plot just digging holes and planting, will will also loosen up and add coco etc to the soil around the holes so there won’t be lots of disturbed earth.

 

I can’t think of anything else really that will not cause shade.

I think you've got it covered.

Small numbers, randomly scattered, holes not beds - good to go :yep:

Also, it's bloody hard to spot a grow from the sky so you'll have nothing to worry about. I've grown near a domestic airport before (500 meters away) with no stress :yinyang:
