UK Gardeners Urged To Place An Orange On Their Lawn

Orange in the garden

It’s been a funny few weeks for gardening. First, the heatwave came, which meant less (or no) mowing, more alertness to drought, and even moving and inspecting your plant pots to avoid scorching. 

In some parts of the UK, thunderstorms are now expected (a welcome change for those fearful of a bone-dry lawn, but bad news for sunbathers). 

Rain or not, though, many of us are experiencing slug infestations as our gardens flourish and our veggies swell.

But killing our slimy foes isn’t the answer.
