The Little Book of Slugs

edited by Suzanne Gallant & Allan Shepherd



The Little Book of Slugs arose out of the Centre for Alternative Technology's Bug-the-Slug campaign. It collects over 70 different organic solutions to the slug problem, distilled from over 300 professional and leisure gardeners. As well as organic methods to combat the slug, it includes details of slug lifestyles, habits and eating preferences, and information on reported problems associated with chemical controls.
