Well, I think that Bran flakes are delicious and a great start to the day, but apparently so do slugs. According to one of our Fulking customers putting piles of Branflakes near your crops is a good defence of your lettuces. Slugs will choose to eat the Bran rather than your plants, and you can go round each morning and collect them up as they guzzle on it. I am definitley going to give this a try, especially in our polytunnels where there are relatively few slugs, but those that are in there are monsters.
What you do with the little blighters once you have collected them from their Bran Breakfast is completely up to you...no recommendadtions from us, though if you keep chickens there could be an obvious answer!!
Anyone else got any slug tips?
