I am writing to you about a problem I have with slugs in my garden. My garden is very marshy and the grass takes days to dry out. As such I have a terrible problem with slugs. If I walk over the grass they are everywhere. I also have a deck area and I have seen them move down in underneath the deck. I was hoping you may be able to offer some advice as to how I can get rid of the slugs. I have a 4 year old child and a dog so would be looking for a solution which would of course be safe for both my child and dog to be around.

I was refreshing the compost in my outdoor pot plants when I came across these worms. Are they cause for concern as they seem to be in every pot.

I have bought 2 large pots diameter approx 80cm. They are for my patio which is very open and on a very windy site. I would like to plant a tall shrub/tree in each and plant some low lying plants around the bottom. Ideally I would like them to be low maintenance and as a permanent fixture. What would you suggest please?
