Slime pickings for slugs

Slugs are in retreat...leaving a trail of joy behind them for horticulturists.

After a bumper year for the plant nibblers in 2024, this spring will see far fewer slugs in gardens, experts have predicted.

The cold snaps over winter and the recent dry spells mean numbers will be limited.

This will be good news for gardeners who are growing plants such as carrots, lettuce and broccoli from seed.
