Slug and others. Garlic Spray

Fennel and Fern » Slugging it out:

Ruin the meal

If a very determined slug has reached your hosta or young sunflower, make sure you sorely disappoint them by serving up a garlic-tastic dish.

Garlic Spray

- Crush the cloves from two garlic bulbs into a saucepan of boiling water,

- add chilli powder,

- and leave to simmer (with the lid on and the windows open) for half an hour.

Decant into a spray bottle, and spray all over your plants. This spray also works as an insect repellant for other plants such as roses. Research has shown that slugs hate the scent and taste of garlic oil and will leave their prey well alone.
