Hi There
Personally I am against the salt idea. I know slugs are "pests" but they are living beings too and have as as much right to be here as we do.
Imagine if you were a slug and before you knew it, you had wonderded into a load of salt and you were dehydrating so quickly that you can not get off the salt and then you painfully die of thirst...I do not know, it is just me....I am sensitive.
So I use fresh holly leaves. The slugs can not climb over them. I am growing pumpkins now and once I surround the stem of the plant with one layer of over lapping holly, then the slugs stay away...
