Wow, how do you keep the birds/slugs/snails off the crop? Bar & I don't use the little blue killer pellets cos they harm other wildlife and netting simply lets the sliders & biters trundle underneath the perimeter to start their feasting.

1 We grow them off ground on tables (old shed door on trestles)
2 Slugs are not a problem for us maybe down to Hedgehogs
3 birds have more than enough to eat ( cost me a fortune but they pay back in entertainment)
4 Just lucky I suppose
