Do slugs serve a purpose? It used to be a commonly held beliefs that wasps were useless, but I think we now know they do help pollinate. But what the hell to slugs do other than eat my hostas? |  |

That should bring back some happy memories for Grant Holt’s teammates in the Carrow Rd canteen..

Yup, they love our hosters too.
We have some particularly fat ones with a sinister orange tinge in our garden again this year.
Utterly pointless, bloated, gorging bast*rds in my book.
It’s crying out for a joke about the incumbent American president, but it’s just too obvious, shirley?… | |

I did read somewhere that advised to take your pot and smear Vaseline around your rim. That’s supposed to stop them. I’ve no idea how. I couldn’t work out what the pot’s got to do with it and it just made walking feel a bit strange. The joys of gardening, eh? | |

This is crying out for some wise advice from Keno.
As far as I understand it, it’s something to do with them being unable to gain sufficient purchase on your greased up stalk.
If you spill beer on them as well, they get in a right strop and crawl off to check out the neighbour’s bed.
These are vital life lessons that should be taught at school, really. | |

Our slimy little friends summed up.
Slugs help break down decaying organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling. They also serve as a food source for various garden creatures, including birds and hedgehogs |  | | |

Decaying my butt! They always go for your best plants. Never the scruffy weeds in the corner. I’m convinced they’re either useless or devious. Or both. | |

I'm trying to tempt the local slug population on to every plant rather then the weed..
I also like to count how many slimy victims I have in my beer traps of a morning. Suckers  |  | | |
