Spreading tealeaves (used, of course) on the garden is a very old trick for keeping slugs away. If it works, is this because slugs are allergic to tea, or is it that the little leaves stick to their undersides and detract from their locomotive ability?

If it is the former, then presumably teabags would also work. If it is the latter, wouldn’t sawdust be just as good as tealeaves.

Have a cup of tea and think about it. smile

There never was nothing.
