The UK weather is always changing. One day it's raining and the next day the sun is shining. These weather conditions have dramatic effects on the garden.
In this video, Patrick Whitefield, permaculture teacher, author and gardener, explains how water and slugs go hand-in-hand.
This simple video shows how to give seedlings their optimum level of water, so they can cope on the hot days but not be so wet that they are a great meal for slugs, and how to prevent those pesky slugs and snails in the garden from devouring your carrots or leafy greens.
