We’ve got 2 sorts of slugs right here – that I do know of.
The brown slugs are large. They are often 5 or 6 inches lengthy when stretched out. Fortunately, for my potager, they’re carnivorous.
The grey slugs are tiny. Curled up they’re hardly noticeable; stretched out they’re 1/4 – 1/2 inch lengthy.
They’re the slugs that I discover within the lettuce and the chard and the basil. They love basil and may wipe out a row of rising seedlings in a single day.
The lettuce that I planted early has very curly leaves that may home loads of little slugs. After I’m washing it in my stainless-steel sink, they’re laborious to see. I’ve to search for the little trails to seize them earlier than they escape into the kitchen.
Nonetheless – they don’t eat loads…. And I’m certain they’re blissful once I toss them into the compost heap.
