Use beer traps, the slugs die happy
How can I get rid of or control slugs in my garden??? They are devouring my hostas and other plants. I DONOT want to use insecticide pellets as my blackies eat them or they did last year seem to have disappeared now. Thanks.

Sharp sand around plants, they don't like to move over anything dry and scratchy! Coffee grounds, crushed eggshells also worth a try.
There are neither rights nor wrongs in gardening. Only experiences.
copper tape around them
Nematodes?
coffee grinds or tealeaves (open old teabags), dried crushed egg shells, hedgehogs, hens, beer, ducks, you could also do a search on here as there was an enquiry about 9 months ago about this and there was quite a few answers to it.
Birds love the slugs
Thanks to all replies birds ate a lot last year maybe because I'm building a shed garden not so bird friendly will try the ground coffee etc don't fancy drowning them!!!
Get a couple of ducks.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
Yup..... BEER........ Old speckled hen (from Lidl) works a treat.
Good luck with your poppies
