Slugs + Courgettes

Hi Sal, Humane methods of slug removal would involve night hunts with a torch and bucket, pick them up by hand and in the morning take them to the countryside and let them free. If you don't like the idea of spending your nights in the garden wth a torch then you could put out slug food (such as bread crusts or old fruit/veg), then in the morning its easier to find them and dispose the same way.

In the long run you could encourage predators like frogs and hedgehogs into your garden.

Good luck.

 

I've not tried copper, people on here have tried it with varying results.

I did a search on here for 'copper' & 'slugs' and found this thread which should be helpful:
