    Hi,
    I've got my tomato plants in the little plastic greenhouses and they seem to be doing OK.
    Only problem is in the last few days the slugs are getting in and eating the plants.
    Can anyone advise me of the best way to keep the little pests away?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    John

    hi.
    there obviously getting in underneath the greenhouse try slug pellets or put salt around on dry nights they hate salt.
    when i had a garden patch for me veggies i use to surround it with inbedded plastic cups fill them half up with salted water,does the job.
    happy gardening.
