 How to deal with slugs - CGNorwich
I think that we just have to live with them. I haven’t used slug pellets for years. Barrier methods such as ashes and gravel work and will protect most valuable plants. Some plants like Hostas I have given up on. Slugs and snails are an important part of the ecosystem eating dead leaves an plant materials an there’s no doubt slug pellets were harmful to wild birds and indeed pets so I think the decision to ban them was the right one.

Haven’t tried nematodes but as you say expensive.
