The war on slugs starts at home. Toby Buckland.

- The war on slugs starts at home - Telegraph:

- drop slugs and snails into boiling water
let it stand for few days until it smells strongly
water around endangered crops

- Recipe collect slugs in jar with lid and leave for two days.
Tip out into egg carton and burn them over wood fire in garden grill pan.
Sieve ash and grind down then scatter around plants or border edges in square potagers.
Acts as a deterrent and whilst pepper ash does not go far, a solution using 1part slug ash to nine parts diluting substance (ash or water) can then be ground and poured around plants.
Kept in an airtight tin this dilution can be kept for several years.
