Brits urged to pour coffee on their gardens before the weather changes - here's why
UK gardeners are being encouraged to take action before September arrives and the weather changes.The summer of 2024 has been a bit of a nightmare for gardeners, with extended periods of heavy rain making it challenging to grow anything - only for it to be devoured by slugs and snails.These ravenous molluscs will stop at nothing to strip your garden of everything you've lovingly planted, munching through strawberries, raspberries, tomato plants, potato foliage and every kind of flower in their relentless pursuit of food. Slug and snail populations have been significantly higher than usual this summer, thanks to the dreary and wet weather, but it's set to get even worse in September.
