Snails and slugs, arhhhh, I have planted silverbeet and lettuces 3 times, I am at my wits end what to do to stop these nasties eating my plants.I have tried beer, egg shells, coffee grounds, snail bait, and have just put saw dust around each plant to see if this works.I did go out one night with a torch but only got one slug.

just about everything already mentioned but absolutely NO Broad Beans . neither of us like them but we do have plenty of dwarf beans and runner beans growing.
very few fruit trees but we have Feijoas and Manderins plus a newly planted Lemon tree.

Fiona try cutting the bottom off plastic bottles and putting them over your tender new plants.I save large drink bottle but you could use milk bottles too, it seems to be only the new tender plants they gobble up, once grown they seem find something else to crunch on.

I love how mobile they are too - you can move plants to the sun if they are looking a little tired, and you can bring them in when it's cold

Thanks moppy, i think I might have to take your advice.

@shabbychic.yes and not too heavy to move around. Im thinking of hanging some from the fence rails so things can dangle down from them, they can drain easy and I can put them in the sunniest spots.
@fiona.I agree with moppy, I have used egg shells for some things and they worked well but you cant beat de-bottomed drink bottles.they protect as well as providing a snuggly home till they are big enough.
