We are accustomed to the fact that we need to fight slugs on a permanent basis, otherwise the pests can destroy our crops in a short period of time.
Experienced gardeners have developed effective control methods that help drive slugs away from the plot.
Plants can be used as an additional means of protection, says landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What plants can be useful in the fight against slugs
Parsley
Rarely does a housewife do without this tasty and healthy greenery when preparing soups, side dishes, main courses and salads. Therefore, it is worth planting more parsley.
Not everyone knows that the aroma of spicy herbs can drive slugs away from the area.
Thyme
The spice is also actively used by cooks, so it makes sense to plant it. Not everyone knows that the aroma of thyme will quickly solve the problem of slugs.
The plant can be safely planted around the perimeter of the garden and between rows. However, it is worth remembering that thyme does not react well to excess water.
Basil
You can choose absolutely any type of herb, since all varieties of basil are effective in combating slugs.
It is worth knowing about one little trick: if you plant basil next to tomatoes, the vegetables will grow tastier.
