To protect your plants from slugs and snails, you can use something you might not expect. These pests are part of your garden's ecosystem and help break down old plant material.

However, they can also eat young plants. So, gardeners need to find a way to stop them.

Slugs are often considered the biggest problem for gardeners. They come inside when it rains, along with other pests like rats and spiders.

Slugs and snails usually stay outside, but they can be everywhere after a rainstorm. This can cause problems for your plants.

After a rain, slugs and snails can be found almost anywhere, even in your garden.

To keep slugs and snails away, you can put a barrier around your plants. You can use eggshells, coffee grounds, or copper rings.

For plants in pots, you can also put petroleum jelly on the outside of the pot to keep slugs and snails away.

There's another way to keep slugs away without spending money. You can use an old item from your garden.
