Well I had terrible problems with the slugs and snails. They were on the strawberries, flower beds and pots. So I contacted Chorcai (JT member) and I got some crushed oyster shells from him. I put them round the flowers, in the flower pots and round the strawberry plants. Low and behold not a slug or snail to be seen and they also make the beds and pots attractive looking. They retain the moisture in the pots etc., and so less watering and certainly less weeding as they keep the weeds down. I now have healthy beds and pots and had lots and lots of strawberries. So a BIG THANK YOU to Chorcai (THE SHELL MAN) and well done for innovation.
