So how has this year been so far?

The beginning of the year was good, not a slug in sight.

The latter half of the summer did bring out my sluggy foe and damage was done to many of my young seedlings. A combination of events has made this a very busy year  and I am culpable of neglecting my plot. So maybe I deserve this!

However last week I took my spuds out of the ground and was very pleased indeed to find that I had to throw away only one potato because of the dreaded slug munch!

On reflection I am wondering if my decision not to cover my plot over the winter actually worked to my advantage in my war on slug terror. Having the ground exposed  to the frosts and hungry birds
may have made the difference, at least for the first half if the season. It is a strategy I will try again over this coming winter. Weeds be damned!

    I have an allotment and love growing my own food, admittedly with varying degrees of success. One of the biggest problems I face is the slug. This somewhat light hearted blog will chronicle my war against this insidious pest.
