Thanks Sam, I've just sent that link to my Sister she is having terrible trouble with slugs and snails eating her plants too.

Here we are Fran, sourced from hereGarlic Wash Recipe Well, here it is. Much requested and sought after - top secret you know... Ingredients: 2 Bulbs Garlic 2 Pints Water Instructions: Crush 2 bulbs of garlic Steam or boil in 2 pints of water for 3 to 4 minutes until blanched Strain mixture and make back up to 2 pints Leave to cool When ready to use, mix one tablespoon in five litres of water and sprinkle on to leaves in late afternoon (in dry weather). Re-apply every two weeks. The mixture dries on the leaves making them unappealing to slugs and snails! The mixture will apparently dry on the leaves making them rather unappealing to slugs and snails! Of course you can always take a short cut and use our very own Plant Elixir - Godfrey's Glorious Garlic Guard, available in 250ml bottles. Brill, thanks

Apparently its not just suitable for hosters, as the guy did use them on all of his plants that were susceptible to slugs snails etc.

I read somewhere that cat litter around the base of a plant deters slugs and snails. I told a friend so she used cat litter and it works. They haven’t been near her plant since.
