Now I haven't come across any slugs yet, but this unstoppable pest needs to be kept at bay; prevention is better than cure. I remember the trauma as a child squashing a slug with a glass jar. It was truly gross and it makes me shudder to think about it. I do not want to repeat this torture, but if it comes to slugs vs lettuce, I'll acquire a hammer. But first I'm going to make a slug pub, a dish of organic cider (Mr Carrott's home brew) to lure the slugs to their death.
