Dirty Slimy Buggers
You know you’re officially insane when you find yourself wandering around the garden in your slippers, clutching eggshells and a bag of cheap porridge oats, all the while screeching “I’ll get you, ya buggers”.

Slippers, egg shells, and a bag of cheap porridge oats.
Is this one of those Harry Potter things?

I knew it was slugs as soon as I finished reading. Shouldn’t you be using salt? I thought salt made slugs expload. I mean unless you’re not out to kill them ;)

Salt is best for getting rid of them, but you can only apply it directly to the slug. These little shits hide until I’ve gone to bed and then come out to devour my crops. :|

We buy this wierd blue kinda pesticide thingy that lures the snails/slugs and once they eat them, BANG they are bye bye ^____^

Apart from the obvious, salt would also contaminate the soil and kill off the plants ;) Hang in there Jem, between us we will overpower these demon slugs and get rid of them. :)

Several relatives with gardens has made me guess what you were doing immediately. ;)
My grandmother actually removes bugs from her potato plants manually. She drowns them (they’re not snails, though).

You could try Inserting a pint glass flush into the ground (ideally within a very slightly wider flower pot or similar container, for easy removal) and fill it with cheap ale, leaving an inch or two of space at the top. You will find 72 drowned slugs in there before the week is out and then have the pleasure of emptying it.
Or go out at dusk with a pair of scissors and a strong constitution.

I’ve only been a visitor of your blog for a few days and if this is what you do on a day to day basis, then I’m really freaked out :).

I’m such a loser. Hahaha.
Slugs are gross though, hope you get rid of them soon!
