Slugs and Soapnuts experiment

The slugs are eating my plants. emoticon This happens every year and I refuse to use pellets. I could get copper tape but it’s expensive. I could go out with a bucket of salt water and collect them every evening but it’s very time intensive and I have other things to be doing.

Now, last time slugs got into the kitchen (I know, yuck) I used soap nut juice in a spray to clean up the slime. So I’ve been wondering if a soap nut juice dose for the plantlets will help.

I’m going to take my greenfly wash and spray the coldframe and the plants inside. I’ll post back in a few days and let you know if it works. It certainly works for greenfly.
