Many summer residents have noticed that for the greatest effectiveness in the fight against slugs it is worth using several methods at the same time.
Thanks to successful combinations, you can protect your garden from parasites without using chemicals.
What methods are considered the most effective?
Plants
Some crops are able to scare away slugs with their aroma alone, so the crops "close" the area along the perimeter. You can also make a "plant fence" for the beds or plant the desired plants directly between the rows.
Garlic and onions can be safely classified as such crops. Also, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", advises considering such options as rosemary, sage, parsley, lavender and basil.
Nettle
Many gardeners often use this plant to work with nutritious infusions, but you can also consider nettle as an excellent remedy against slugs.
It is important to take into account that only young weeds that have not yet had time to form seeds are suitable for this method.
Nettles are spread throughout the entire area.
Mechanical methods
Don't forget about the delicate skin of the pest. This will help us get rid of slugs easily and simply. To do this, place objects around the area and perimeter that can injure the pests.
These include shells, pine needles, coarsely crushed eggshells, walnut skins, ground mustard and ground hot pepper.
