Do you have less slugs this year?
Hi all, always had lots of slugs in my garden but this year seen hardly any so far, all my lupins doing well and no damage on my dahlias? Anyone else noticed a lack of these little creatures? I used nematodes last year and think we may have at least one hedgehog 🦔 or was it the hot dry summer?
Maybe I am speaking too soon and they will have a population explosion in the next few weeks.
If I got young slugs and fed them only bindweed do you reckon they would get a taste for it?

Overnight rain has seen the snails rise to the top of the low hedge by the front path, making it much easier to pick them off into my slug bucket.
I've loads of banded ones if you want me to send you some wild edges 😉.
We do have hedgehogs in the garden and a fair few birds. I have found those little black slugs and the tiger (?) ones, but not many of the big ones - yet ! I think the smaller ones are the ones that are supposed to do the most damage. I did think it was unusual for the time of year, l am sure plants have been decimated by now. Must be the lack of heavy rain.
