Britain's Gardens Threatened by Super-Sized Slugs: Leeds Hydro Store Comments
Leeds, England -- (SBWire) -- 09/23/2016 --Britain is now facing a huge invasion of super-sizes slugs and experts have recently warned that the average garden could soon, or in some cases already be teeming with 20,000 molluscs. Because of lack of hard frost and a mild winter slugs failed to go into hibernation during the 2015-2016 winter period and have been reproducing since at an incredibly speedy rate.
Dissimilar to snails slugs are able to stay active providing that temperatures are above 5C and the warmer the weather, the quicker they reproduce – laying between 20 and 100 eggs at a time. This is presenting tough times for gardeners, with slugs feeding on and damaging they grows. Traditional gardeners have in turn been urged to grow plants in which slugs do not like such as foxglove, geranium, agapanthus and fuchsia.
A spokesperson from popular hydroponics equipment store Leeds Hydro Store was keen to comment on the mammoth slug invasion saying, "With slugs at an all-time high in Britain, more and more gardeners are opting to grow their plants and produce hydroponically – as hydroponics present multiple benefits. Hydroponics cannot only reduce the risk of pests such as slugs and soil borne diseases but also enable produce to contain a higher nutritional value while saving water, reducing food miles and more. For all looking to switch to hydroponic growing, we have a great range of complete kits availvile, ideal for beginners."
