So slugs it is! I have heard copper keeps them away - would a ring of pennies glued around the pots keep them from climbing over the pennies and into the pots?
Some of my tomato plants are looking good - and I'd now like to start some lettuce, the most tender and juicy leaves of all! I'll try the netting, DCL, but am wondering if the copper on the pennies might work too.
I did have slug bait around my small plants but I guess the slugs found a route through the bait.
