A beautiful and mature colourful shrub (Cytisus sp?) fell over, I thought it was the recent strong winds but the exposed root was teeming with big shiney black slugs. Looks like they have eaten their way through the whole root. It's a particulary wet bit of ground and north facing so I have trouble getting anything new to grow there. This shrub had been planted by the previous residents and was really well established so I am gutted at losing it.
So - how do I kill them, no beer/bran/blue pellets/copper please 'cos these all failed already - and does anyone have ideas for slug resistant shrubs that dont mind the damp and cool - thanks!
