I must admit the pinot and rieslings do it for me more than the Harp but beggars cannot be choosers! Miles Annie,

All that beer could be tempting! I like the sound of the champagne too, how many people did you invite to the party? sounds like a great bash! Miles Annie,

I could start the U.K. franchise and make MILLIONS!!! I truly enjoy your blog and the site with all the food and wine suggestions. You and Rod are welcome anytime, and you don't even have to do slug patrol!!! We'll save the beer for drinking. By the way, for my son's engagement party we had a keg with 13.3 GALLONS of Harp beer. 13 gallons is truly an enormous quantity. We also had a couple of case of wine, 50 or so cans of soda, 100+ bottles of water (which were all consumed, and a case of lovely almond champagne from a local winery (Wilson Creek). Oh, and lots of food (appetizers and a BBQ buffet, with a yummy cake for dessert). Whenever you want to visit California, let me know. I have a spare bedroom and a second bathroom just waiting.

Sluggo sounds great, if it ever goes out of production then I am sure my brother would be happy to fly over and conduct his midnight slug patrols for you! Thanks for commentating, I hope you like the blog and you come back to comment again soon. kind regards miles Annie,

Here is California, land of sun and drought, we, too, have the dread snail and slug plague. I have found a great product to use that will not be a danger to wildlife (except for the wild snail in the group), and eventually breaks down into a very nice fertilizer. the product is called Sluggo, and I , as I said, I have had great success with it. Hang in there!!! Miles,

Second she recommends vinegar as a slug repellent although not on the plants themselves. Cid x Hello Miles,

I cannot bring myself to use beer as bait no matter what anyone says-I'd rather tarmac the whole garden than give a slug any of my beer!! Thanks for taking the time to comment. miles Elsie,

I am afraid that beer, hedghogs and frogs are my only hope left. Miles
