Hello all,
I just wanted to reply to say I am still trying to find the name of the clay product I used in the UK.
@ drdawg,
My reply about poisons was not meant to sound judgmental but only to explain why some find poisons to be a big deal. Saying that, I love your reply on how you garden organically. If I had cedars, I would definitely hug them though for they are favorite tree. ;)
Also regarding the post where someone actually said something is wrong with your garden due to your slug issues (as already mentioned) they have never lived in a wet climate. It rains nearly every day in England so slugs and snails are an inevitability (along with fungal diseases). It is a challenge to protect your garden and I for one enjoyed the challenge. I lost many plants (my prized hostas for example) in the process but I was so happy when I finally found something that worked. It is exasperating to say the least when you want to achieve something in your garden and the forces of nature have other plans. If I had acres of plants to protect, I am not sure what I would do.
At any rate, this has been a great thread as not only has there been great discussions but many different ideas have materialized in controlling one of the more destructive pests in a wet garden. :)
Once I get the name of the clay product, I will update again.
