Hi again Lorraine :) Yes, it's teeny slugs that are doing the damage - and boy can they eat !!! I read a couple of forums about safe ways to get rid of them (I have two little dogs) and am trying this method and it does kill them. However, you can't just put it on the plant, you have to make contact with them. So when it's raining, or night time. 100mls of Cloudy Ammonia to 400mls water in a spray bottle and zap them. To that you can add a drizzle of washing up detergent so it sticks to them better, and they die instantly. There is heaps of slug ideas/info out there like using crushed eggshells, beer traps - there's quite a list. Good luck, and am wishing me the same ;)
