  • Espresso in the garden.

    Planted a batch of seedlings a couple of days ago, something is eating the hell out of them, as we have a dog cant/don't want to use snail pellets.

    Did a Google, Gardening Australia recommend a spray to combat slugs and snails "try coffee spray. This is an idea borrowed from Jerry Coleby-Williams, and it works a treat. One part really strong espresso coffee to 10 parts water, and spray the seedlings and surrounding soil thoroughly.The slugs and snails cross, it absorb the caffeine and die."

    Made up a batch, not sure it is snails, will report back on result.?

    A moat of broken eggshells also works pretty well to keep snails and slugs out.
