Default Slugs

There is,as I speak,ongoing research into the beneficial qualities of slug slime!I kid you not!Supposed to have some of that anti-aging bio whatsitsface in it.Personally,being the complete macho, I would not know.
What will work is shredded copper wire-the kind you get in ordinary appliances-simply strip the insulation and cut the resultant bare copper into 1/2 inch long bits. Spread liberally around all veg or flower plants. Works a treat.
Gives the slimeys an electric shock I think;but it does work.
God I need to get out more!
