what are peoples thoughts on using slug pellets on vegetable patches. I have
just started to plant out on mine and am not sure whether to use them on the
soil or not. reading the instructions it says not to get them in between
leaves. I am a little concerned when they get wet and dissolve into the
soil?

I guess you will receive mountains of advice from the group on your
question.
You need have no concern about wet slug pellets on your health or that of
slugs.

I use "nemoslug" on mine (biological control).

Do you find it works?
It didn't when we used it on our potato bed and it makes what's left even
more expensive which is why we concentrate on slug resistant varieties now.
