Jan's Chilli Jam Recipe 

 
Garlic water for slugs and snails
Picture
                Create a garlic spray for Slugs and Snails

Use a cleaned 4-pint or 2-pint container. Fill with cold water approximately 4 inches from the top. In the 4-pint container place up to 25-30 garlic cloves, they can be cooked, old or new cloves. In a 2-pint container place 14-15 cloves. When the containers are filled then place in a shady area for two weeks to rest. When ready, pour the liquid into a spray container and soak your plants on top of the leaves under the leaves and the stems.

The smell should only last for a maximum of 2 days. You can spray your plants once a week but note that if it rains you will have to spray again.

This spray can be used on all plants as it is organic. It is a good idea to pay extra attention to plants that slugs and snails like. If you find that a plant still attracts slugs and snails, then spray it again.

This liquid is not totally effective, but you will find it greatly reduces damage done to plants by pests. Supplied by George Lockwood who did a talk for us on 'Planning for early summer colour in your garden'.
