RE: New seeds, new allotment, new vertical gardening goals🌱

@samstonhill, Outstanding!! Just a thought, I know this works for snails but am not sure about Slugs.. Try sprinkling a little bit of water mixed with table salt around the border of your planting area. Snails simply dry out due to dehydration after a bit, but I do not know what will happen with Slugs. Be careful to not get the salt water on your plants as this kind of kills them to.

Good Luck and I love the updates!!

Thank you for sharing your personal experience! Always great to hear from those who have done it before ;)

The slug free wall idea appealed to me in part because we don't have to kill any slugs! I don't know too much about this yet but I feel sure that they must play some kind of symbiotic role in the garden?

not sure what kind of role they play except in destruction mode.. LOL I think, but not to sure, that they also airate to some degree the soil. They tend to hide underground during the daylight hours.
Keep up the good work! Mitch
