Basking in the glorious sunshine watching all the little sprouts....erm well sprout.

Reading Hugh Fearnley Whittering-Twittering-Stall the other day reminded me that May is the month to become contemplative about your patch. Bar a few pickings of rocket and other seld set salad leaves there's not much to do other than sit back and watch as hopefully the seeds sewn germinate and the seedlings planted out hopefully manage to stay ahead of the slugs and snails.

Can Slug Pellets ever be considered organic?

My partners in grime dismiss my claims that DieSlugDie pellets are as organic as their ineffective but cute methods of leaving out dishes of various beers so the offending slugs "go merrily". Poppycock - aren't chemical presevatives and sterilizing agents used in the production of the cheap ales used?

As "organic" as a land rover is environmentlly friendly

Call a spade a chuffing shovel I say and if the little-blue-pills - I mean pellets work and the impact of such tiny traces of copper sulphate is negligable then it shouldn't ruin the beleif of good wholesome growing.

Slugs, snails and puppy dog tails
