3. Introduce Natural Predators:
- Attract beneficial predators like hedgehogs, birds such as blackbirds and thrushes, and ground beetles, which feed on slugs.
- Provide shelters and water sources for hedgehogs, and create habitats that are conducive to birds and beetles.
4. Cultivate Repellent Plants:
- Grow plants like fuchsias, mint, and tansy around your crops; these plants repel slugs due to their strong odors or insecticidal properties.
- Besides protection, they add natural beauty to your garden.
5. Adopt Ecological Practices:
- Promote biodiversity in your garden to maintain a balanced ecosystem that naturally controls pests like slugs.
- Practice crop rotation and mulching to reduce slug populations and enhance soil fertility.
By implementing these natural and practical strategies, you can effectively safeguard your garden from slugs while prioritizing environmental sustainability and health.
