Round plastic mesh


Round plastic mesh

I am going to empty out the pots of Hostas, check for slugs/slug eggs then place a circle of mesh in the flower pot hole. It remains to be seen if this will deter the critters!

I saw this on GW and thought it’s definitely worth a try Shirley!

Adam Frost was using them, so if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me ... :o))

I'm keeping everything crossed for you 🤞
Despite a hedgehog and a frog..we still have the nasties munching their way round our garden :-(

Kate, that's really surprising. You need to have a word with the hedgehog and frog !!!

I've seen lots of snails & slugs on the balcony during the years we have lived here but they seem to cause little trouble. Though the snails in particular are partial to a few juicy Amaryllis leaves! 🤣

I haven't seen any snails this year on the balcony but I have seen more slugs than never before. Again they don't seem to do much damage, probably because most of my plants are not to their taste! 🤣

Hope this works out for you, Shirley.

David, apologies for my late reply. Just returned from a few days away so catching up on here now. I really do hope this mesh stops them from living in the pots of Hostas.

No worries, Shirley! I hope it gives you the desired results.
