However, a friend said to me just yesterday that I'm welcome to take our slugs round to her place and feed them to her ducks. I'd been a bit nervous of asking people about this, as I assume everyone round here has more than enough slugs of their own. She thinks I'm mad wanting to go to the trouble of collecting them up and taking them round.<br />Thank you for nice comments about the blog, and please do become a reader - you are very welcome :-)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-8294256060586853892012-08-15T18:21:26.687+01:002012-08-15T18:21:26.687+01:00Rachel I think the best defense I have against slu...Rachel I think the best defense I have against slugs is our lovely (all named after Harry Potter Characters) ex-battery hens. They are fantastic, turn slugs into eggs (which you can then sell) and have wicked personalities. They really are the best defense out there, and completely natural/organic :-) This is a lovely blog by the way, I think I may have to become a reader if that is okay?
