I'm really only showing this as an example of how good the Q is and my amazement that the local slug and snail population have left this alone (so far)Comment Image

The hosta leaves look like a doily on our plants

You can deter them by spraying the Hosta plants with a diluted solution of garlic, there was a couple on a gardening program who use this method and they had hundreds of Hosta.

I like this shot, it shows just how good the Q is.

Bit difficult to tell from the TV, I'll have to put it to the test.

Nice image. I took one exactly the same of my hosta with my K10 yesterday.

And yes, the slugs have been slow this year! Got some rain coming so don't speak so soon.

Tonight I've given the slugs a good feed of slug pellets

Slug Pub. It's the way I'd want to go.
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

Pellets are one way, but they tend to kill the things that feed on them as well ie: Birds and Hedgehogs.
