Slugs may not only be "interested" in our plot, but also try to harm flowers.
Therefore, plants need to be properly protected.
It is especially difficult if the flowerbed is located in partial shade, since this is the most comfortable for pests, noted landscape designer and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What options can be considered?
Penumbra
To drive slugs out of comfortable conditions, you just need to plant plants that are unpleasant to them. You can choose from different colors so that the area looks stylish.
It is worth paying attention to astilbe, alchemilla, periwinkle, fern or bergenia.
If the flower bed is in the sun
