Mrs NWo has been trying all sorts - even copper plating around the base of the planters which apparently put the blighters off.

There's a shop on this side of the pond that sells copper mesh specifically to deter slugs.

You could also fill a shallow dish (or dishes) with cheap crap beer and set them out in the garden under shelter: slugs love the smell. Salting slugs isn't good for whatever else you might eventually want to grow in the soil.

Seems our heatwave is about to break here as well: I'm about to go for a walk and along with the bumbershoot, I'm actually going to wear a long-sleeved shirt, for a change....
