Bought a dozen dahlias. Planted them. Checked for slugs an hour later - none. Late afternoon - none. Mid-evening as I was going out for a run: 26 found and killed, two plants looking very damaged. A good hour later, on returning: 18 found and killed, one plant unlikely to survive. I have put down poison.

I had a hole drilled through my toenail when it was supposed to only go into it. It hurt a bit even though it was a tiny drill. I was at a chiropodist - I think she slipped a bit ![]() |

[I once made a hole in my thumbnail using the heated end of a paper clip to relieve the pressure under the nail - quicker and more convenient than a trip to the see the health centre nurse]

I didn't know that. I shall stop using them forthwith.

Chris - they might be ok - just as long as they don't contain metaldehyde. Raffo occasionally uses organic slug pellets containing ferric phosphate - this is legal.
