    Mint and slugs/snails

    I've recently been noticing that the snails are rummaging about in my mint plant container though admittedly it is housed under the water tap.
    I am surprised as I did not think slugs/snails liked mint.
    Though organic, I do not want to sprinkle pellets all over the container, so is there anything else I can do that will deter them?
    Do they stay away from citrus smells?

Allotment and Edible Gardening

This allotment and edible gardening group is to talk to like minded individuals about their experiences and plans, to exchange ideas, get advice, sharing of seeds, plugs, etc. - essentially, anything to do with allotment or edible gardening. I am also hoping we can meet up, perhaps in turns, at each other's plots. This group is open to anyone anywhere with an allotment or a keen interest in learning about allotment culture and edible gardening. As it is a relatively new group, we will also need to see how it evolves organically - very much my style of gardening, as chemical free and organic as possible :-) So far, so good ...do sign up, you'll be most welcome.
