Gardening expert shares 'inexpensive' way to banish slugs - and plants that repel them

If you're trying to get your garden ready for summer, then you'll probably have come into contact with a few slugs while tending to your plants, as the pesky creatures love to eat holes in leaves, stems, flowers, and bulbs.

Slugs mostly feed on plants at night, but the worst damage is often done during warm and humid periods, making the spring and summer months a hotspot for slug activity - which just so happens to be the time of year you'd most like your flowers not to have large holes taken out of them.

And while slugs can be a pain to deal with, gardening expert Jack Sutcliffe has said there's a "simple and inexpensive" way to solve your slug problem, which may not even cost you a penny if you're already partial to a beer.
