Feeling sluggish?

Q: How do I deal with slugs and snails?

It's always difficult with slugs and snails - you can try growing plants they don't like to eat. I find copper collars are quite good - you can put them around hostas when they're just coming through. You'll find that some hostas are more resistant to them than others - careful plant selection will get you out of a lot of problems.
