What DON'T slugs like?

[Ric.ror]

I am thinking herb and veg wise

ease up on the watering & they'll desert you.

Only 1,000 teeth? I heard that they all have at least 27,000 teeth. I hope they have Denplan insurance, and they dread seeing the dentist.

I put them in jamjars so they can't get out, then put them in the bin. My mother used to harvest them in pop bottles and do likewise.

Thank you all for your advice

Might be all right served up with garlic butter. And mark this, in these days of making both ends meet - THEY ARE FREE.
Boxy - that's even worse than the things I do to them, at least they die immediately. All shut into a jamjar or bottle they will die a horrible death. Best to put them in a bucket of salted water. They should die quickly. They do not like salt.

Here you - I know I am old but not ancient (there is a difference) :-)

P.S. Not slugs trim only snails to eat. I have never heard of eating slugs and would not want to be the first to try them.

[Ric.ror]

Ramsey once did
He said they were horrid

[ummmm]

Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall tried cooking slugs. It looked gross....they let out (don't know how) loads of sticky slime...

Slugs and snails don't seem to attack my sweet peas or tomatoes.
I collect them and put them in my garden waste bin (slug heaven!)

[fliptheswitch]

My last garden used to be full of slugs and my poor plants were getting attacked left, right and centre.
I used copper tape all along the bottom of my containers, which did seem to work.
They never bothered with my pots, tomatoes (though these are still only leaves), apples, Rosemary, Curry plant, Courgettes or Blueberries.
However, they have gone to town on my strawberries, rhubarb and lettuce :(

I know it's not nice but I can't bear the goop if you drown them. I stood on a slug in bare feet the other day (my bare feet, not the slug's) - it was disgusting.
