Gardeners are battling slugs that threaten to destroy their hydrangeas, despite the common belief that these pests prefer decaying material over fresh plants. In damp and cool conditions, slugs can become a gardener's nightmare, capable of stripping beds of seedlings overnight or damaging mature plants.
Fal Fal posted: "Heard some said slugs don't eat hydrangea leaves but when I place my plant outdoors overnight for these two or three days, I found the leaf has been eaten like this. I also found many slugs sucking around the pot."Any ways to deter the slugs effectively? My tulip leaves also suffered from being made holes even more seriously."
Members of a gardening group have shared their top tip for keeping slugs away from hydrangeas: eggshells. Elizabeth Aiken suggested: "Eggshells on the soil. It'll be too sharp for them and they won't get to the plant."
