Slugs were plaguing my garden & munching through my plants until I found a £1 trick to banish them – it’s so easy too
PICTURE this, you’ve spent hundreds of pounds and many hours getting your garden summer ready.
Only to have slugs ruin your plants by munching on them and leaving holes in the leaves.
Is there anything more frustrating?
Well, the good news is, one savvy woman has come up with a cheap solution to make this a problem of the past – and it costs just £1.
Gardening guru Kels revealed how beer has been her “go-to” method “for years.”
Sharing her top tip in a video posted to TikTok, she begins: “We are starting to have a slug problem – so time to fix it.
“We’re going to put some dishes ground level in the beds.
“We do use beer – so time to crack a beer and pour it in the dishes.

“We’ll change this every few days to see what we get.”
It wasn’t long before the post racked up a whopping 205k views and several comments, with many confirming beer had previously worked for them, too.
“This works!! I did it last year,” wrote one.
A second penned: “Did that for my strawberry plants and wow I caught so many lol.”
Elsewhere, others shared the alternative methods they use instead.
“Do you guys put coffee grounds on the ground or in your planters? slugs don’t like caffeine and has worked for me!” commented one.
A second noted: “Epson Salt also works.”
A third added: “I have an earwig problem so I do the same but I use half oil, half soy sauce & a little anchovy paste.”
