About this episode
🐌🌧️ If you’ve walked out into your garden or allotment and found half your plants nibbled overnight… you’re not alone! In this episode, we dive deep into why slugs seem to explode in numbers — especially during mild, wet weather — and what you can actually do about it. We’ll look at the main reasons behind sudden slug invasions, from warm winters and heavy rain to sheltered hiding spots and moisture-rich soil. You’ll also hear the most effective, wildlife-friendly methods to reduce slug damage — from beer traps and night patrols to mulches, barriers, and clever planting strategies. Whether you’re growing veg, flowers, seedlings, or salad beds, this episode is packed with real-world solutions that genuinely work on UK plots. What slug-control method works BEST on your allotment?
