How can you stop slipper slugs attacking an allotment potato crop?
Stupidlittlegenius
I don't have any idea of how large an area is an " allotment ", but in our organic garden, our small potato patch has several pie plates with some beer in them. The slugs and other nasties love to dive right in and slurp the stuff. Then they drown.

What can you do to control slipper slugs on an allotment?
Beer and grapefruit baits, coffee ground or lava rock or salt sprinkling, copper meshing/stripping, diatomaceous earth applications, ferric phosphate and garlic treatments, and seaweed soil amendments are ways to control slipper slugs on an allotment. The above-mentioned controls can be counted on to eliminate slipper slug populations in the least cruel and the most non-toxic ways. They work well with litter removal, moisture control, morning watering, regular mowing, and weed pick-up to keep environments not as damp and messy as slipper slugs like the ground to be.
