    Coffee gets rid of slugs , but is illegal under EU law , i have used coffee against slugs and it works , they move away from the caffeinated area.

    I have a ring of coffee all around my raised beds. Then a foot width of gravel before you get to my raised beds. And still they come. I use my own home made compost every year, I suspect that they are hiding in among this. I get my used coffee granules from Insomnia. Nice people.
