Thank you for visiting Gaz and Tom! It was an absolute pleasure sharing the garden with you - keep up the great work! Hopefully the slugs and snails are kind to you for the remainder of this growing season 🐌🐌

Hi Adam, love your garden!! What type of ducks do you have? I really like their colours.

[@gazzamuso]

I could listen to him talk for ages, the Welsh accent is so beautiful and he's such a laugh 😆

[@Anna_ForFutureAdventures]

This wholesome, natural way of gardening Gaz has been promoting is such a wonderful way of seeing nature. We are just managing the space, but nature owns it. I really love that!!! 😍😍😍

[@cuocsonglangnoigogang]

Your approach to stopping slugs from destroying the garden organically shows a deep respect for nature's balance. It’s inspiring to see how you nurture your garden with care and mindfulness, preserving its beauty in the most natural way. And I am Floating Village Life.

Adam is such a delight!

[@laram5752]

we have many slugs here but they never touched my garden simply because I feed them; they love cat kibbles, and in the right season I see them congregating around the kibbles to eat them, so they are happy and my garden is happy too!

[@woutthielemans5073]

Thank you for this tip! We'll have to try that next year. This year the slugs were absolute engines of destruction in our garden, all that helped a little was catching & freezing them.

Fabulous episode. I guess you could buy wool from a farm animal rescue sanctuary, as the rescued sheep still need shearing, but will still live a happy full life…without slaughter! Loved all the tips! Thank you both gentlemen 😊

Thanks for the tips!

[@88Mikje123]

oh yes! i was just thinking wool isn't vegan.. but the rescue centers are a brilliant idea

This is the best tip ever! We just welcomed two lovely sheep to our family, so now we've got free slug-proofing next year!

[@GPThorpe94]

Never heard of Adam, just subscribed to him, ta Gaz. Your videos are a breath of fresh air from all the negative things in the world. Keep it up 👍

[@gardyloo3093]

That was great to watch! What a lovely guy! And such a beautiful garden!

[@shayb1701]

Absolutely fantastic footage on preventing slug damage. Thank you so much. I want to add that through the years I've been using used coffee grounds the slugs become disoriented when traveling through the coffee grounds. My understanding is that it does not kill them but I have found it to work very well especially on my hostas

[@thatgirlthatgrows]

What a beautiful garden Adam! And I love what you said about we are just looking after the gardens for nature, such a wonderful way to think of it. Thanks for the great tips!

I’ve had so many slugs in my garden this year, so this is super helpful! I love that there is always so much to learn about gardening

[@michelleheegaard]

This is amazing. Sharing it in a Danish gardening group. Slugs have absolutely destroyed a lot of Danish gardens this year. Thank you!

[@gardencat4952]

We have a garden pond in the middle of our garden and it attracts 5 different species of frogs and toads. The toads do an amazing job at keeping the slugs and squash bugs under control.

Great show, Gaz and Tom❤Thank you for introducing us to Adam and all the slug management tips. Loved the words of welsh, too.

[@babbit_janeway]

This video and Adam was worth its weight in gold. I only have a balcony garden, but I’m on the ground floor and I get slugs CONSTANTLY. I’ve used chicken manure wool this year which has been okay, but I’m going to try the garlic and pepper spray - great tips!! If I had room I’d definitely get the duck solution though 🦆💜 Great, great video!!

[@kaizenfitnessuk]

Leopard slugs only eat dead plants and other slugs. So he's right about letting them be just in case you get rid of the wrong ones. Also a big fan of giving them my veggie and fruit scraps to munch on to protect my plants. Some really good advice in this video. Always lovely to see what my Welsh brethren are managing to grow here 😊

[@Anna-s3g8j]

Love this video, and love Adam! I can't believe you wouldn't hold the snails, Gaz 😮 I love snails ❤ I don't mind them being killed naturally, but I can't kill them. When my daughter was young, as soon as it started raining we'd be out with buckets collecting them and taking them to the local fields 😊

Gaz you won’t even believe it but today I was out battling the leopard slugs we have here in the pacific north west of USA. And then I come in from the sun now and your video is here like it was made just for me today. Thanks so much for this and for Adam and his amazing info. I want ducks now for sure. Always love your content your wonderful Gaz keep it up and just like he said your garden wasn’t there before now all the slugs have told all the other slugs to come on over.

[@sproutingemily]

Oh, Adam is so charming. Great video full of helpful tips! I don't usually struggle with slug pressure, but our unusually mild winter (for us here in Wisconsin) and wet spring drew them out in droves!

[@RebeccasCountryLife]

What a lovely knowledgeable guy.

What brilliant tips! I'm going to try and do some of the tips!

[@jeanmorris6601]

I’ve used coffee grounds around my lettuces, after finding the slugs had eaten a few. Seems to have helped. My problem this year has been aphids, particularly black ones, they have destroyed my beans and peas ugh!

[@emmapataialii8631]

This is fantastic information! I'm in New Zealand and spring is like a plant massacre where I live. I've always thought of creating a transportable slug and snail haven to move over to a chicken coop daily ... requires chickens though 😅

[@bethanyfelton4330]

The way I have always gotten rid of snails is in my opinion one of the best ways to go out! I get them drunk! I get small plastic cups. Put them in the ground about rim high may be a little higher in the ground. Fill them up about a quarter of a wave with beer. This did so well the second season I tried it. I only was catching baby scales and slugs. By the third year, I was completely free of them! I don’t have a problem with drinking the beer because when I’m never liked beer, two… I have a gluten allergy, and three you don’t have to take them wine and dining. Get the cheap stuff.

If you have access to scrap electrical wire, making a little copper wire ring around plants is a great free way to protect them (but very localised)

Soooo sweet right

[@davidstewart4149]

Copper tape, diatomaceous earth can both fight slugs. Also, planting carrot seeds too deep prevents germination. Some seeds need sunlight-not full sunlight, but some sunlight that can reach them beneath the ground, and planting them too deep doesn’t let enough get to them.

Btw the big slug you've got in your hand in the thumbnail is a Leopard slug and it won't eat your plants in fact you'll want as many of them in your garden since they only eat rotting vegetation, fungi and other slugs.

[@bluetinsel7099]

Gaz, don’t your neighbors have sheep that we’ve seen in your previous videos? They were so cute, but maybe they can give you some wool for your garden. There was really good info in this video and the ducks were so cute. As for they cayenne pepper and garlic, I’ve heard of that one before as well and I’ve also seen people use salt for the slugs and they say that works as well. I enjoyed some of your guest Adam’s many remedies, he is very knowledgeable. 😊

[@karenokeane6461]

Gaz, I've been watching since Day 1 of your channel......and this one here is my all time favorite video!! :) :)

[@timnadinamcclurelively4163]

If you have alot of slugs or snails get a few ducks. Let them rome your garden every so often. Let nature do the work. If you have a insect problem find a insect that eats it and introduce it to your garden. Takes a few years but i noticed when i did it. The first few years i kept. Adding them to my garden but i new they wouldn't stay. So i kept adding them till i noticed them being there without me doing anything. Took 3 years and my bug problem was managed and didn't get out of control.

[@desireemeredith4929]

I don't have access to sheep, but I am a husky mom. He sheds loads of fur each year. I wonder if his fur would work as a slug immobilizer...

Slow worms are better at slug control than ducks. They live 20 years plus and feed almost exclusively on slugs. All you need is a few corrugated sheets laid in sunny spots on top of grass. You just have to get over the fact they look a bit like snakes Gaz, but remember they are actually legless lizards. And they are super cute. Porridge oats are also a good organic slug control. Keep them under a slate to keep them dry. The slugs will shelter under the slate, consume the oats and die fat and happy. The oats swell inside the slugs. If any other predator eats the slugs they won't be affected by the oats. As I always say, if you wouldn't eat the poison you put down, then don't put it down.

[@susanthomas7566]

Wow! I feel like I've struck gold hearing about the porridge oats. Do you have any recommendations for rollie pollies?

[@WildernessTamed]

@@susanthomas7566 I think what you call Rollie pollies and what I call Rollie pollies are maybe two different things. For me it's rolling down a grassy hill lengthways. No oats or slugs included. 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 🙃

[@bernicemuller8932]

From a different channel. Keep away from cats and dogs. Similar to beer trap. 1 cup of flour, 1 packet of yeast. Keep dry in a container. When needed put some (maybe a big spoon full) in a beer-like trap, mix in some water to get a runny consistency. Put in garden and catch some snails.
