There's a never-ending battle between gardeners and slugs as these destructive critters eat their way through ornamental plants and crops alike. But I've discovered an easy, natural way to create a slug-proof barrier that will protect your most vulnerable plants.
It's essentially using one of the best slug-repellent plants and turning it into a boundary: ferns. Ferns are disliked by slugs and snails because of their rough, fibrous texture, which is hard to eat. By strategically planting ferns around the softer plants slugs do like to munch on, you can create an effective slug-proof barrier.
