🌿**Top Tip to Save Your Veggies!**🦔
With all this rain, slugs are having a field day in UK gardens. But don’t worry! The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has an easy, eco-friendly trick: sprinkle straw around your plants. 🥬🍓
Dr Hayley Jones from the RHS recommends straw as it helps keep those slimy critters at bay. You can also try her nifty idea of nighttime searches to humanely relocate slugs to your compost heap. 🌜♻️
Not keen on straw? Garden gurus suggest other options like eggshells, coffee grounds, wool pellets, or copper rings to create barriers. And for potted plants, a swipe of petroleum jelly around the rim could do the trick.
Here’s a bonus tip: Water your plants in the morning as soon as the sun’s up. This simple change helps keep slugs and mildew at a minimum since the soil stays drier throughout the day. ☀️💧
Our gardens deserve some love without harming the little guys out there. Share your favourite garden hacks with us and let’s keep those plants happy and slug-free! 🌼💚
