I'm growing tomatoes (different varieties), cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, green peppers plus herb garden.
Yep there is some beer out, aswell as cornmeal. But I´ve got 12 raised beds, so they find a way in somewhere. Also the beans are in a drystone walled area, so that gets full of snails hiding in the wall.

tried coffee aswell but that doesnt seems to work.. I´m not talking normal slugs, these are thr Spanish slug.. fuckers are massive. They are 5 inches long.




The other problem with the beer is I have to pick it up everyday, otherwise the chickens try to get the slugs out..
