Our question was…
What is the best remedy for protecting plants from slugs, snails etc
At the Hamilton Gardens, we learnt that there are good insects as well as bad.
Our remedies were: Saucer of milk next to the plant, crushed eggshells on the soil, ripped orange peels on the soil.
It showed that all the remedies worked equally the same, with zero slugs and snails etc.
the science behind the first remedy is that they are drawn to the milk because they’re curious, and then they drown in the milk.
The eggshells are so sharp that when snails walk over the eggshells they get cut and stabbed to death.
the science behind the last remedy is that the citric acid in the oranges burns the skin of the snail, slugs etc.
